September 30, 2025

year-on-year to ₹1.4 trillion, as pera report by DSP Mutual Fund on passive funds.

Factor-based passive funds, also known as smart beta funds, track indices based on factors such as value, momentum and volatility. Thematic funds focus on trends such as clean energy and digital transformation.

Currently, about 40% of India’s 620 passive funds are sectoral, thematic, or smart-beta products, per National Stock Exchange data. Niche passive funds account for about 11% of the assets managed by all passive funds.

The number of niche indices has also increased—with BSE Index Services Ltd launching BSE 500 Momentum Index and BSE India Sector Leaders Index this year, and NSE Indices Ltd rolling out Nifty India New Age Consumption Index and Nifty 500 Multi-cap Momentum Quality 50 Index.
