New Index Fund Offers Exposure to Indian Electric Mobility Sector
What happened
Axis Mutual Fund has launched the Axis Nifty EV & New Age Automotive Index Fund, which offers investment exposure to the electric mobility and automotive technology value chain in India. The fund tracks the Nifty EV & New Age Automotive Total Returns Index and is open for subscription until October 30, 2026, with a minimum investment of Rs 100. The fund invests in companies across the automotive and electric mobility ecosystem, including vehicle manufacturers.
Why it matters
The fund launch reflects the expansion of the electric mobility sector in India, where EV penetration increased from less than 1 per cent in 2020-21 to 9.4 per cent in 2025-26, according to data cited in the fund house's release. This provides investors with a dedicated mechanism to track the growth of the automotive and electric mobility ecosystem.
The electric vehicle boom in India is being driven by the two-wheeler segment, supported by government policies and infrastructure investments.
