Nifty Swings 500 Points: Is Your SIP Safe?
Indian stock markets turned volatile with Nifty giving up gains and Sensex falling 500 points from its day high. IT and realty stocks led the fall. Here's what this means for your SIP and investments.
A 1.5% Nifty drop can erase ₹2,000–₹3,000 from a ₹2L mutual fund portfolio — that's 3 months of chai money
Sensex swung 500 points in a single session — your SIP portfolio felt it
Key Takeaways
Do NOT pause your SIP — market dips are exactly when SIPs buy more units at lower NAVs, building long-term wealth faster.
Review your portfolio's sector exposure: if IT or Realty stocks are over 30% of your holdings, consider rebalancing to defensive sectors like FMCG or pharma.
Avoid panic-selling equity mutual funds — check your fund's 3-year and 5-year CAGR before making any exit decision during volatility.
Indian stock markets turned volatile with Nifty giving up gains and Sensex falling 500 points from its day high. IT and realty stocks led the fall. Here's what this means for your SIP and investments.
Here's what happened: Sensex fell over 500 points from its intraday high, while Nifty erased all gains as selling pressure intensified across key sectors.. IT, Realty, Oil & Gas, and PSU Bank sectoral indices each declined between 1.2% and 1.5%, dragging the broader market lower.. FMCG stocks bucked the trend with a 1.1% rise, offering some cushion — a reminder that not all sectors move together..
What you should do: Do NOT pause your SIP — market dips are exactly when SIPs buy more units at lower NAVs, building long-term wealth faster.. Review your portfolio's sector exposure: if IT or Realty stocks are over 30% of your holdings, consider rebalancing to defensive sectors like FMCG or pharma.. Avoid panic-selling equity mutual funds — check your fund's 3-year and 5-year CAGR before making any exit decision during volatility..
Pro tip: On volatile days, your SIP auto-buys at a lower NAV — this is called rupee cost averaging. A ₹5,000/month SIP during a 10% correction can reduce your average cost by ₹800–₹1,200 per unit over 12 months.
