  "account": "HDFC Asset Management Company (HDFC AMC) introduced the HDFC FTSE India Equity ETF on the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) on Friday. This open-ended scheme mirrors the FTSE India Equity Index, which tracks the Total Return Index. The ETF shares about 90% of the market capitalisation of the FTSE India All Cap Index, providing investors with diversified exposure to Indian equities through a passive investment approach. Key figures present at the listing ceremony included HDFC AMC's Managing Director and CEO Navneet Munot, FTSE Russell's Head of Asia Nico Boulay, and NSE's Managing Director and CEO Ashishkumar Chauhan. Munot highlighted the significant transformation in India's capital markets over the past decade, driven by formalisation, improved market depth, and broader sectoral participation. He emphasised that investors are increasingly seeking diversified, transparent access to the country’s equity markets. The scheme is classified as \"Very High Risk\" according to SEBI's riskometer and is ideal for investors aiming for returns aligned with the FTSE India Equity Index over the long term, accounting for tracking error. Established in December 1999 and approved by SEBI in July 2000, HDFC AMC manages assets across various sectors through a comprehensive nationwide network. This listing broadens the company's portfolio of passive investment products.",
