Groww Mutual Fund’s newest launch features the Groww Nifty EV & New Age Automotive ETF, which is designed to deliver long-term returns through investments in the Nifty EV & New Age Automotive Index. The New Fund Offer (NFO) for this scheme runs from July 22 to August 2, 2024.
This electric vehicle ETF debut aligns with the dynamic growth of India’s EV sector, which saw 1.7 million units sold in FY 2024 and is projected to account for 30% of total automotive sales by 2030.
The underlying index of this fund is the Nifty EV & New Age Automotive Index, which tracks the performance of firms within the electric vehicle ecosystem and those developing new-age vehicles. This index tracks ~33 companies from the Nifty 500 index, each actively involved in various aspects of the EV sector such as electric and hybrid vehicle production, hydrogen fuel technology, battery manufacturing, and charging infrastructure.
Recently India has been paying even more attention to sustainability, and with transport accounting for 13.5% of the country’s total carbon emissions, shifting to electric vehicles is imperative. This move has received significant support, particularly from the government. Reflecting the sector's potential, EV sales in India almost doubled in 2023, making up 2% of all passenger vehicle sales.
