Ashishkumar Chauhan, MD & CEO, NSE, said: “Investment by large global asset managers is growing in India, given the performance of our economy and favourable demographic profile. I would like to thank them for showing trust and confidence in the Indian Capital Markets. I would also like to extend my sincere gratitude to the Government of India and market regulator, Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI), for enabling market friendly policies. With focused efforts of all the stakeholders and expected robust performance of the economy, we will surely progress towards achieving many more milestones in future.”
Mukesh Agarwal, MD & CEO, NSE Indices, said: “We are seeing a strong demand from global asset managers for launching India-focused passive products. 2023 has been a historic year for NSE Indices with seven passive products launched outside India on Nifty indices during the year and they also garnered good AUM. We expect this trend to continue and many more India focused passive products are expected to be launched outside India in 2024 as well. We will continue to work with our clients to launch innovative India focused indices for launch of passive products.”
