Mutual Funds Buying Stocks Aggressively in May 2025 – Why Are Other DIIs Scared?
📉 The Plot Twist: Everyone’s Scared Except Mutual Funds
Imagine a battlefield.
- FIIs? Packing their bags.
- Insurance Companies? Staring at LIC returns.
- PMS Managers? At a meditation retreat.
- Banks? Busy increasing loan rates.
- And then there’s Mutual Funds: “Chalo bhai, aur le lo HDFC Bank.”
That’s right — in May 2025, while everyone is holding their breath, Mutual Funds are the only domestic institutional investors (DIIs) on a buying spree.
And the fuel? SIP flows so massive, even Ambani’s credit card looks humble.
🔥 Numbers That Slap Harder Than Market Corrections
| Date | MF Net Buying | Total DII Net Flow | Translation |
|---|---|---|---|
| May 7 | ₹2,900+ Cr | ₹2,586 Cr | Others sold, MFs saved the party |
| May 9 | ₹5,771 Cr | ₹(-3,798) Cr | MFs bought, rest literally ran away |
April SIP Inflows: ₹26,632 Cr (highest ever).
That’s not retail love — that’s a full-blown arranged marriage with equities.
🧠 Why Only Mutual Funds Are Buying?
Because they have to.

- PMS managers are busy drafting
- LinkedIn posts about macro headwinds
- Banks don’t want equity drama on their books
Mutual Funds have no option. When ₹26,000+ Cr/month walks in, you don’t sip chai, you deploy.
🏦 What Are Other DIIs Doing?
| DII Type | Status | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Insurance Cos | Cautiously waiting | “Beta, abhi market mehenga hai.” |
| PMS Houses | Selective buys | “Only buying ‘moat’ wala stock.” |
| EPFO, LIC, Banks | Sitting this out | “Election tak wait karte hain.” |
EduInterpretation:
Other DIIs are like that friend at the wedding buffet who’s “not hungry” but eats your rasgulla once you open it.
💰 SIP = India’s New Institutional Weapon
- While FIIs play hot potato with Indian stocks
- And global funds cry about inflation & US Fed
- Retail India just shows up on the 5th of every month and says, “Le paisa le.”
SIP = Systematic India Power.
And these SIPs are being deployed by
