Stocks Sold by Mutual Funds in March 2025

March 2025 turned out to be a month of heavy portfolio reshuffling by mutual funds. With the Nifty delivering a strong 6.3 per cent monthly gain — its best run since July 2024 — fund managers took the opportunity to cut down on certain holdings. While Rs 11,400 crore worth of stocks were picked up from the secondary market, there was also a fair bit of profit booking and trimming in select names. The rebound in the market, combined with cautious optimism around global developments, led to a more active approach in rebalancing portfolios.

The mutual fund industry continued to show strong momentum. Equity AUM touched Rs 32.3 trillion by the end of FY25, marking a 26 per cent jump over the previous year. SIP flows remained steady at Rs 25,930 crore in March, reflecting a 34.5 per cent rise year-on-year, even though there was a minor decline from February. With fresh inflows and rising participation, fund houses realigned their exposure across segments, keeping portfolios balanced and in tune with changing market conditions.
