SIP Inflows Steady at Rs 31,000 Crore in January Amid Volatility; Stoppage Ratio at 74%

• Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) maintained steady inflows of Rs 31,000 crore in January despite market volatility.
• Total SIP accounts rose to 10.29 crore, with 74 lakh new registrations, but 55 lakh SIPs matured or were discontinued.
• The SIP stoppage ratio stood at 74% in January, indicating a significant churn despite net account additions.
• AMFI CEO Venkat Chalasani attributed volatility to US government actions and new tariffs, not a structural shift in investor behavior.
• SIP assets under management declined to Rs 16.36 lakh crore due to negative mark-to-market impact from equity market corrections.
