Key Takeaways
- Nippon India CRISIL-IBX FAR Gilt ETF opened its NFO on September 29 and will close on October 12, 2026.
- The minimum investment during the offer is ₹1,000.
- The debt-oriented ETF seeks to track the CRISIL-IBX FAR Gilt Index before expenses and subject to tracking error.
Nippon India Mutual Fund's CRISIL-IBX FAR Gilt ETF opened for subscription on September 29, adding another passive government-securities product to the current mutual fund NFO calendar.
The offer will remain open until October 12, 2026, while the minimum investment has been set at ₹1,000.
The scheme is structured as a debt-oriented exchange-traded fund.
Its investment objective is to generate returns corresponding to the total returns of securities represented by the CRISIL-IBX FAR Gilt Index, before expenses and subject to tracking error. There is no assurance that the scheme will achieve its investment objective.
The ETF is mandated to maintain a substantial allocation to Government of India securities represented in its underlying index.
Passive Government Bond Exposure
Unlike an actively managed debt scheme, an index ETF seeks to replicate its benchmark rather than allowing a fund manager to take discretionary positions with the objective of outperforming it.
The eventual return experienced by investors can differ from the underlying index because of the scheme's expenses and tracking difference.
Government securities do not carry the same issuer credit risk as corporate bonds, but gilt portfolios remain exposed to interest-rate risk. Changes in market yields can affect bond prices and consequently the value of the ETF.
The NFO arrives during a week with launches spanning equity, debt, fund-of-funds and life-cycle strategies. Nippon India's offering is one of the debt-oriented passive products in that pipeline.
The scheme's draft filing had been made with SEBI on August 25, 2026.
