May 2026 witnessed a distinct cooling in mutual fund investment activity, with actively managed equity fund inflows slumping by 40.4% m-o-m to Rs 229.07 bn - the lowest monthly level recorded this calendar year. This fall was broad-based, with significant declines across large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap segments, while flexi-cap and sectoral thematic funds experienced even sharper contractions compared to April 2026.

Despite this moderation in lump-sum equity flows, Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) contributions displayed remarkable resilience. At Rs 309.54 bn, SIP inflows saw only a marginal 0.5% dip from April 2026, marking the third consecutive month that this steady retail-driven channel has held above the Rs.300bn crore threshold, thereby sustaining the underlying structural uptrend in retail participation.
