Preface: I'm single and not looking to get married. I work at Blr but plan to retire in Hyd. Only want to achieve FI not looking to RE.
I currently earn ~40 L (Non-engineering role). So, here is the breakdown of what I have accumulated thus far - Mutual funds - 25 lakhs (Invested 20) Stocks (blue chip) - 8 lakhs (invested 5) FDs - 20 lakhs ELSS- 10L House on EMI - Gonna cost me ~3Cr in next ~10 years. (My father is paying some and the flat is in a joint name)
Long term Monthly Expenses:
Net FI goal: the 3 Cr house and 3 Cr in savings. I plan to achieve FI in the next 10ish years.
And for anyone new to investing, please start EARLY. Do a strong SIP if you don't understand anything else yet.
Kudos to you! Very few people are working towards FI in a planned out manner. Makes me realise I need to get planning this.
I see you taking out less money for fun & shopping there. Good going on your goal.
I'd say diversify this 10% with Gold and silver. Great going 💪🏽.
Salary - 40L Post tax - 30L Home EMI - 15L (assumed you cover 50% over next 10year rest by your family) Monthly expenses - 80k-100k
So currently you essentially have 50k-60k to play with. Future growth in salary needs to go aggressively in Equity.
Your current expenses seem to be 10L+ annually. For FI you need 40x (some say even 50x but can be much less if you can susbsidise by some part time job later as you are planning). So you need 3-4Cr as of today to be financially independent. But this number will grow with inflation so bear that in mind.
You seem to be on a good track (that home loan is an anchor but as always home is an emotional decision so it is what it is). If future salary growth is routed towards equity it should be manageable.
P.S: For equity I would advise only to use an index fund unless you know what you are doing.

For those who are planning for FIRE. Share your-
How much do you plan to accumulate to retire and at what age? What kind of monthly income will let you retire peacefully?
