DSP Mutual Fund Launches DSP MSCI India ETF: NFO Closes on Nov 17

DSP Mutual Fund has introduced the DSP MSCI India ETF, an open-ended exchange-traded fund (ETF) that aims to replicate the performance of the MSCI India Index (Total Return Index – TRI). The New Fund Offer (NFO) opened on November 10 and will close on November 17, 2025.

Investment Benefits and Tax Efficiency

The DSP MSCI India ETF offers investors a convenient way to gain diversified exposure to India’s growing economy through a single investment vehicle. Unlike overseas-listed ETFs, dividends received and portfolio rebalancing within the fund are not subject to immediate taxation in India, which can enhance tax efficiency for both domestic and non-resident investors. The ETF’s structure also helps reduce concentration risk, offering broader diversification than narrower indices such as the Nifty 50.

About the MSCI India Index

The MSCI India Index is part of MSCI’s Global Investable Market Indexes (GIMI) framework and reflects the performance of a diversified portfolio of Indian equities across major sectors such as financials, energy, information technology, and consumer services.

The index includes both large- and mid-cap stocks, providing a broad representation of India’s equity market. Over the past 27 years, it has delivered an annualised return of approximately 14%, according to data from Bloomberg and MSCI.
