Nifty 50 Etfs' India Aum Crosses Rs. 1 Trillion: Press Release

Press Release
Nifty 50 ETFs’ India AUM crosses Rs. 1 Trillion

Mumbai, September 16, 2020: The Asset under management (AUM) of all the Exchange Traded Funds
(ETFs) tracking Nifty 50 index in India has crossed a new milestone of Rs. 1 lakh crores (Rs. 1 Trillion).
Also, the total AUM of the ETF (Equity & Debt) Industry in India has crossed Rs 2 Lakh crores (Rs. 2
Trillion).
Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) investments in India are witnessing good growth primarily due to
transparency, diversification and cost effectiveness. This milestone achieved is the culmination of
efforts put in by all stakeholders such as Ministry of Finance (GOI), Ministry of Labour & Employment
(GoI), SEBI, EPFO, ETF issuers, Investors, Trading members, etc. In March 2014, the GoI decided to take
the ETF route for disinvestment through CPSE ETF. The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation
(EPFO) started to invest a part of its funds in equities through the ETFs in August 2015. These are
significant measures and critical stepping stones for the success of the Indian ETF Industry.
The first ETF was launched in India in December 2001 and was linked to Nifty 50. However, the actual
growth in the ETF AUM has happened only in the last five years wherein the AUM of ETFs in India has
grown from Rs. 7,032 crores as on August 31, 2015 to Rs. 2.07 lakh crores as on August 31, 2020
(annualised growth rate of 97%). During this period, the number of ETFs available in India have also
grown from 36 as on August 31, 2015 to 82 as on August 31, 2020.
Nifty 50 is the benchmark index representing the Indian capital markets. Various investment products
linked to Nifty 50 index are available for trading and investments in India and globally. Nifty indices
have about 77% market share in terms of AUM (Equity & Debt) of the ETF industry in India.
Additionally, there are 11 ETFs on Nifty indices that are traded in the international markets.
Mr. Vikram Limaye, MD & CEO, NSE said, “We are very encouraged by the investors’ continued
confidence demonstrated through their participation in ETFs linked to Nifty 50 and other Nifty Indices.
NSE has been on the forefront and has been working actively with the Mutual Fund industry for
creating investor awareness and promotion of ETFs through various channels of communication in
India. NSE will continue to actively promote ETFs to retail investors through multiple channels. I am
confident with the focused efforts of all the stakeholders we would achieve many more milestones in
the future.”
Mr. Mukesh Agarwal, CEO, NSE Indices Ltd. said, “Nifty 50 and various other Nifty indices have been
well accepted and recognized for launching ETFs in India. In addition to Nifty 50, there are 25 other
Nifty indices on which ETFs are available in India. NSE Indices believes in product innovation and we
will continue to work with various stakeholders in developing new indices, including Debt Indices, to
facilitate new ETFs that will offer a variety of investment products to investors.”
