SIP for ₹2 crore in 25 years at different returns
A higher return cuts the SIP you need, but it also raises the risk that the goal is missed; a rising SIP lowers the starting amount.

Questions about this scenario
How much SIP is needed to reach ₹2 crore in 25 years?
About ₹11,749 a month at 12% a year. You invest ₹35.25 L in total and growth adds ₹1.65 Cr. At 10% the SIP rises to ₹16,088, and at 8% it is ₹21,862, so the return you assume changes the answer a lot.
Can I reach ₹2 crore in 25 years with a SIP that rises every year?
Yes. A SIP that rises 10% a year can start at ₹5,082 a month rather than ₹11,749 and reaches the same ₹2 crore at 12%. By year 25 you would be investing ₹50,056 a month, so it suits people whose income grows.
What does ₹2 crore in 25 years mean in today's money?
With 6% yearly inflation, ₹2 crore received after 25 years buys what ₹46.6 L buys today. To end up with ₹2 crore of today's buying power you need ₹8.58 Cr in future rupees, which needs a SIP of about ₹50,427 a month.

What the numbers say about ₹2 crore in 25 years
Of the ₹2 Cr, you contribute ₹35.25 L (18%) and compounding at 12% supplies ₹1.65 Cr (82%). Every rupee you put in ends up as about 5.67 rupees at the finish.
Growth overtakes your own contributions in year 12, when the balance reaches ₹36.2 L against ₹16.92 L invested. At the halfway mark, year 12, you hold only ₹36.2 L, 18% of the goal, which is why the middle of a long SIP feels slow.
The final year adds about ₹21.36 L of growth on its own, 10.7% of the goal. Waiting one year to start means building the same ₹2 crore in 24 years, which lifts the SIP from ₹11,749 to ₹13,259 (13% more); waiting three years takes it to ₹16,936.
If your pay rises, a SIP that increases 10% a year can start at ₹5,082 instead and finish at ₹50,056 a month in year 25. Should ₹2 crore mean what it buys today, the figure must first grow by 6% a year to ₹8.58 Cr, and the SIP becomes ₹50,427. In today's rupees the ₹2 crore you will actually receive is worth ₹46.6 L.
The calculation assumes a steady 12% every year. At 8% you would need ₹21,862 a month instead, and equity returns are far from steady, so many people aim a little above the figure or add a safety margin as the date approaches.
