Where can I get SIF (Specialised Investment Fund) data for India?

At sif.tigzig.com, free and keyless. SIF is SEBI's Specialised Investment Fund category, barely a year old, and there was no easy way to get its history in one place. This dataset carries every NAV AMFI has published for SIFs since the category began, alongside the scheme master, the quarterly average AUM and, since 15 October 2026, scheme details with fund managers, benchmark, risk band and expense ratios.

What you get - these files, with the NAV and master refreshed twice a day and the scheme details three times a day:

• sif_nav.csv - every NAV, every scheme, every date.
• sif_meta.csv - the scheme master, one row per scheme variant.
• sif_aaum.csv - quarterly average AUM per scheme variant.
• sif_scheme_details_latest.csv - one row per scheme variant with fund managers, launch dates, benchmark, risk band, TER and BER from the fund's scheme document.
• sif_data_quality.csv - the open data issues, for example funds with no scheme document on AMFI.
• summary.json - precomputed counts and series, if you want the shape without reading the CSVs.
• manifest.json - row counts, byte sizes, SHA-256 per file, and generated_at.
• README.txt - every column, its units and conventions.

Each data file also comes as Parquet. The whole set is listed for agents at api.tigzig.com/downloads/sif. Expense ratios and risk bands across SIFs: https://www.tigzig.com/agents-faq/what-are-the-expense-ratios-and-risk-bands-of-indian-sif-funds.

Fetch them straight from stable paths with no key and no parameters, for example https://sif.tigzig.com/sif_nav.csv. They open in Excel, and DuckDB or pandas will read them over HTTP directly.

Read this before you build on it. The status is deliberately observational - it is beta-testing a pipeline that will later fold into the mutual fund pipeline behind MFPRO. No uptime commitment, and the file shape may still change, so keep your own copy. It is a third-party copy of AMFI data, not affiliated with or endorsed by AMFI.

Three things that will bite you if you skip them. (1) Funds and scheme variants are different counts - AMFI files NAVs at variant level, so one fund with Direct/Regular and Growth/IDCW appears as four rows each with its own code, NAV and AUM; add the variants up to get the fund. (2) Any column named temp_something exists only while SIF is a separate dataset and disappears when it merges into the main scheme master - code written against it breaks on merge day. (3) upload_ts is IST despite a trailing Z, so anything computing publication lag from it is out by 5h30m unless you convert.

SIF NAV and scheme details are also in the mutual fund API since 21 October 2026, by SIF code (120 or SIF-120) or ISIN: how to get SIF from the mutual fund API. The scheme master, quarterly AUM and data issues files are here only. Full write-up: https://www.tigzig.com/post/sif-data-release-nav-scheme-master-aum-aug2026.
