ESG disclosure framework for mutual funds

Tue, 19 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

SEBI’s ESG disclosure framework for mutual funds (effective phased from 2022-2024) requires AMCs to disclose Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria in their investment processes, ESG scoring methodologies, and ESG impact of their portfolios. The framework reflects the broader global movement toward sustainable investing and aligns Indian mutual fund disclosure standards with international ESG frameworks.

For Indian retail investors interested in ESG investing or simply curious about how AMCs assess governance and sustainability risks, the framework provides standardised disclosure across the industry.

ESG investing in Indian mutual funds refers to the integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria into the investment process of SEBI -regulated mutual fund schemes. India’s ESG fund landscape is nascent relative to developed markets but has grown significantly since the first dedicated ESG mutual fund schemes were launched in 2018-19. By 2025, approximately 12-15 AMCs offered dedicated ESG or ESG-integrated schemes, though AUM in dedicated ESG schemes remained a small fraction of total equity mutual fund assets.
