Investors looking to gain exposure to leading consumer goods companies such as ITC Limited, Hindustan Unilever Limited, and Nestlé India through a single investment vehicle now have a new option. DSP Mutual Fund has launched the DSP NIFTY FMCG ETF, an open-ended exchange traded fund that aims to replicate the performance of the Nifty FMCG Index.
The new fund offer (NFO) opened on May 12 and will remain available for subscription till May 14, 2026. The scheme will reopen for continuous sale and repurchase on May 22.
The DSP NIFTY FMCG ETF is designed to track the Nifty FMCG Index, which consists of 15 leading fast-moving consumer goods companies listed on the National Stock Exchange of India. The ETF will invest in these companies in the same proportion as the benchmark index, subject to tracking error.
The portfolio includes companies operating across packaged foods, beverages, personal care and household products. These sectors are closely tied to India’s daily consumption patterns. FMCG stocks are often viewed as relatively stable investments because demand for essential products generally remains resilient even during economic slowdowns.
For investors, the ETF offers a simple and diversified route to participate in India’s long-term consumption growth story without selecting individual stocks.
According to DSP Mutual Fund, the FMCG sector continues to benefit from rising household consumption and steady spending on everyday products. The fund house also noted that valuations in the sector are currently below long-term historical averages, creating potential opportunities for long-term investors.
The DSP NIFTY FMCG ETF provides investors an opportunity to own some of India’s most recognised consumer brands, including ITC, HUL and Nestle India, through a single passive investment product. With the NFO closing on May 14, 2026, and reopening for trading on May 22, the fund may attract investors seeking diversified exposure to India’s defensive and consumption-driven FMCG sector.
