Senior officials highlighted the growing importance of India's capital markets and the increasing demand for diversified investment products.
Focus On Long-Term Growth
Navneet Munot said India's capital markets have changed significantly over the past decade.

The ETF aims to meet this demand through a disciplined investment strategy.
Expanding Passive Investment Options
The listing strengthens HDFC Mutual Fund's range of passive investment products.
The fund seeks to deliver returns broadly in line with its benchmark before expenses, subject to tracking differences.
However, the scheme carries very high investment risk because it invests in equities.
Investors should carefully review the scheme documents before making investment decisions.
