- As of Nov 4, 2026, ETFIQ places 18 stock ETFs in India, with a median fee of 0.74%, the highest of the four single-region groups.
In plain words
An India ETF owns companies based in India and listed on its exchanges. India is an emerging market with rules on share access, so funds cost more to run than in developed markets.
ETFIQ counts 18 funds; the median fee of 0.74% is above China’s 0.65%, Europe’s 0.50% and Japan’s 0.49%. India’s market closes before the US opens, so a fund’s price at the US close can differ from value. Check holdings and dates on the fund page.
