ETFs combine the structural features of <a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/index-fund-india/">index mutual funds</a> (passive tracking of an underlying index) with the operational features of exchange-listed stocks (real-time market pricing, intraday trading, demat-mode holding). The Indian ETF market emerged in <strong>2001</strong> with the launch of Benchmark Mutual Fund&rsquo;s Nifty BeES (the first Indian ETF) and has grown substantially through the 2010s and 2020s, reflecting global passive-investing trends and increasing Indian retail-investor interest.</p>
