Best Indian Equity & Index ETFs for India Stock Market

India’s National Stock Exchange — the world’s largest derivatives exchange by number of contracts traded — lists roughly 2,900 companies, while the Bombay Stock Exchange, established in 1875 as Asia’s oldest stock exchange, lists nearly 6,000. Together, they form a market of over 7,500 listed companies, all regulated by SEBI and trading in Indian Rupees (INR).

Several U.S.-listed Indian equity ETFs give international investors direct access to this market. The main funds track two benchmarks: the Nifty 50, a float-weighted index of 50 large-cap companies on the NSE launched in 1996, and the Sensex, India’s oldest equity benchmark tracking 30 large-cap stocks on the BSE since 1986.

• iShares MSCI India ETF (INDA): The largest U.S.-listed India-focused ETF by assets, holding approximately 108 Indian companies across large- and mid-cap segments. Top sector exposures include financials, IT, and energy.
• iShares India 50 ETF (INDY): Tracks the Nifty 50 Index directly, concentrating on the 50 largest Indian equities.
• WisdomTree India Earnings Fund (EPI): Launched in 2008, this fund uses an earnings-weighted methodology rather than market-cap weighting, with top allocations in materials, energy, financials, and IT.
• WisdomTree India Hedged Equity Fund (INDH): Provides Indian equity exposure while hedging INR/USD currency fluctuations.

Key Indian listed companies in India that feature heavily across these ETFs include Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank, Infosys, and TCS — spanning energy, banking, and IT services. For broader emerging market context, see also emerging markets ETFs or Asia-focused ETFs.
