Before you buy or SIP
Behaviour and wrappers - the usual India MF failure modes - not a buy instruction.
Drawdown rehearsal
This scheme’s worst fall on file is about 19%. Before you SIP, ask whether you would keep contributing through a similar drop - pausing on fear is the usual India MF failure mode.
SIP discipline
Monitor is recent mixed evidence - keep the SIP unless the buying brief says prefer peers, then swap with intent.
