Indian Households Prefer Mutual Funds for Equity Investments

Indian households have been investing in the stock market, but in 2025, they bought fewer shares directly.

Instead, they put more money into mutual funds, which then invest in the stock market.

This shows that people still believe in the stock market for long-term savings.

Over the past six years, households have invested a lot of money, and even though there were some ups and downs, the total value of their investments is much higher than it was a few years ago.

This means that the stock market is playing a bigger role in how people save and build wealth in India.
