SIP inflows hold above ₹31,000 crore for a 5th straight month — what June 2026 AMFI data tells investors
AMFI's June 2026 data shows SIP contributions at ₹31,781 crore, equity fund inflows up 26.5% month-on-month to ₹28,973 crore, and industry AUM at ₹82.22 lakh crore — even as debt funds saw large outflows. Here's what it means for your portfolio.
The Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) released its monthly data for June 2026, and it shows Indian retail investors continuing to invest steadily through systematic investment plans (SIPs) despite a choppy few months for equity markets.

The key numbers
| Metric | June 2026 | May 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| SIP contributions | ₹31,781 crore | ₹30,954 crore | +2.67% |
| Equity fund inflows | ₹28,973.41 crore | ₹22,907.77 crore | +26.50% |
| Total industry AUM | ₹82.22 lakh crore | — | +0.78% |
| Equity fund AUM | ₹37.33 lakh crore | — | +3.32% |
SIP contributions have now stayed at or above the ₹31,000 crore mark for five consecutive months, a sign that retail investors are largely sticking to their monthly commitments rather than pausing SIPs during periods of market volatility.
Where the equity money went
Within equity schemes, flows were strongest in the mid- and small-cap categories:
- Mid-cap funds: ₹6,090.17 crore (up from ₹4,385.06 crore in May)
- Small-cap funds: ₹5,601.96 crore (down slightly from ₹6,263.56 crore in May)
- Flexi-cap funds: ₹5,231.31 crore
- Large-cap funds: ₹2,067.48 crore
- Sectoral/thematic funds: ₹1,469.26 crore
Gold ETFs also saw healthy inflows of ₹3,443.23 crore, reflecting continued investor appetite for gold as a portfolio hedge.
The other side: debt funds saw big outflows
Debt mutual funds recorded net outflows of roughly ₹1.09 lakh crore in June, with liquid funds alone seeing outflows of ₹42,293.29 crore. This pattern is typical around quarter-end, when corporates and institutions withdraw money parked in liquid and debt funds to meet advance-tax and other payment obligations — it isn’t a signal that debt funds are becoming less attractive for individual investors.
What this means for your SIP
- Don’t stop a SIP because of a volatile month. The data itself makes the case: investors who kept investing through recent market swings are the reason SIP flows have stayed resilient. Use the SIP calculator to see how consistency, not timing, drives long-term SIP outcomes.
- Check your category mix. If your portfolio is skewed heavily toward small- and mid-cap funds — the categories seeing the largest flows right now — make sure that matches your actual risk appetite and time horizon, not just recent trends.
- Rising AUM doesn’t mean rising returns. A larger industry AUM reflects more money coming in and market value gains, not a guarantee of future performance. Review your own fund’s returns against its benchmark using the mutual fund returns calculator rather than relying on industry-level headlines.
