What Mutual Funds Bought and Sold in March 2025: Jio Financial, Zomato, Hindalco, Kotak Bank in Focus
In March 2025, Indian mutual funds invested ₹23,500 crore in equities, a slight decrease from February but still demonstrating confidence in India's economy. Their activity showed a focus on selective stock picking across market caps. Large-cap buys included Jio Financial Services, Tata Consumer Products, and Zomato, reflecting bets on fintech, consumer goods, and digital consumption. Conversely, they reduced holdings in Hindalco Industries, Kotak Mahindra Bank, and JSW Steel, likely due to sectoral headwinds and cyclical concerns. Mid-cap activity saw significant increases in holdings of Yes Bank, HUDCO, and Patanjali Foods, while Adani Total Gas experienced a major sell-off. Small-cap investments focused on companies like IIFL Finance, Welspun Living, and HFCL, showcasing a bottom-up approach. Overall, mutual funds maintained a strong position in financials, highlighting confidence in India's growth, but exercised caution in commodity sectors. This activity suggests a focus on digital transformation and consumer growth, with continued interest in carefully selected mid- and small-cap opportunities.
