Total amount collected through SIP in April rises to its highest in 2025 so far: ICRA Analytics

Market downturns notwithstanding, retail investors continued to invest through the SIP route with the total amount collected in April 2025 rising to its highest since January this year. The total amount collected through SIP increased by Rs 232 crore in April 2025 to Rs 26,632 crore, up from Rs 26,400 crore in January this year. On a month-on-month basis, the amount collected through SIP increased by 2.72% from Rs 25,926 crore in March 2025.

The steady rise in SIP contributions, even amid market volatility, highlights investors' growing confidence and commitment to long-term wealth creation. This trend shows their resilience in facing market fluctuations and their determination to stay focused on their financial objectives, according to a release by ICRA Analytics.

The market downturns may be considered as an opportunity, and staying invested will result in increased accumulation of mutual fund units, which will benefit the investor once the market recovers in the long run. Regular investments through SIPs can help average out the purchase cost of mutual fund units over time, reducing the impact of market volatility.
