Indian Stock Market and Mutual Funds

There are some funds/stocks that didnt have negative growth in the last year, is it okay to assume they're safer to invest in? They have like half a percent growth.

Or is the mantra "past performance is not indicative of future..." pretty much universal?

Sorry to jump in, but you have to find the reason why? and What's your risk tolerance along with expected future return.

I was thinking of investing all these 11L in Liquid Fund due to its low risk. Is this a sane approach?

No. Even FDs are not exactly "liquid cash" when talking about emergency fund, that would be balance lying in savings acc. Fyi, breaking a sbi fd which was created online is only possible offline by visiting branch.

Any kind of short term expectation from investing is faulty expectation which gets tested when things don't go up.
Cycles keep changing, some years back psu stocks were untouchables. And now look at them.

Also markets can do things weirdly and move against general expectations of cause effect. Look at how rates went up, yields inverted and markets still went up.
Bull markets bring excitement and strong public interest and eventually bear markets removes excesses built up in bull market.

Hopefully, we will remain in bull market for few more years atleast. We last had a good run in 2000s. 10-20% droop in such markets is normal.

Smaller manufacturing firms appear to have lower but consistent growth from what I've been able to see comparing 1Y and 5Y charts.

Randomly, Groww's SIP calculator is broken, ET Money's is more accurate.

I totally know FD is not that liquid as it attracts penalty (premature withdrawal). Infact I would say liquid may be more liquid than FD.
I am curious as why you are saying No to putting this money in liquid fund instead of FD?
