When the market falls and your SIP still debits ₹5,000, it doesn't feel like a win — but it is.
At a NAV of ₹50, that ₹5,000 buys 100 units. When the NAV drops to ₹40, the same ₹5,000 buys 125 units — more shares, same money.
Over 10 years, this habit of buying more when prices are low is what builds a bigger corpus than trying to time the market.
What this means for you
- Your SIP amount stays fixed, but your unit count quietly grows faster during dips.
- A ₹10,000 SIP paused for 6 months during a fall can mean a few lakh less at retirement, compounded over 20 years.
- Your average purchase cost drops, so even a modest recovery can push your investment into healthy profit.
What you can do
- Keep your SIP running on autopilot — don't stop it when headlines turn red.
- If you have spare cash, consider a top-up SIP during dips instead of timing a lump sum entry.
The market's bad day is quietly doing your buying for you.
