Just 19 stocks absorb half of ₹2.7 lakh crore mutual-fund equity inflows in India
Half of India’s equity-fund inflows in 2025 have gone into only 19 stocks, raising concerns about concentration and diversification risk.
According to a recent analysis, India’s equity-oriented mutual funds channelled roughly ₹2.67 lakh crore in inflows during 2025 so far, but about 50% of that total went into just 19 stocks including SBI, Reliance and Swiggy. Of these, 25% of inflows went into just six companies. Analysts warn this high concentration increases risk amid weaker returns across broader indices. The trend underscores that mutual-fund inflows may be focused on limited names instead of diversified allocations, raising concerns about risk-adjusted returns for retail investors.
