The Indian mutual fund industry, currently dominated by a few large asset management companies (AMCs), is poised for a shake-up as six new players prepare to enter the market in 2025. With the industry's assets under management (AUM) reaching ₹67.25 trillion as of January 31, 2025, newcomers like Angel One, Unifi Capital, Jio BlackRock, Capitalmind, Choice International, and Cosmea Financial Holdings are set to introduce innovative products and strategies. This influx of new entrants, driven by growing investor interest and favorable market conditions, is expected to intensify competition and potentially lead to more diverse investment options for India's expanding investor base.
