In February 2025, the Indian equity market experienced a notable downturn, with the benchmark Nifty 50 index declining nearly 6%, marking its lowest level in nine months. This decline coincided with a record high SIP stoppage ratio of 122%, indicating a significant shift in investor behavior. The number of active Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) fell to 44.56 lakh, while discontinued accounts rose to 54.70 lakh. On March 13, 2025, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) were net sellers, offloading shares worth Rs 792 crore, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) were net buyers, acquiring shares worth Rs 1,723 crore. This data reflects a broader trend of changing investor sentiment in Indian mutual funds amidst market corrections.
