Nifty equal weight ETFs by expense ratio and AUMs
I'll look up the major Nifty equal weight ETFs available in India, their expense ratios, and AUMs.Now I have enough data to compile the table. Let me present the findings.
Nifty 50 Equal Weight ETFs — Expense Ratio & AUM
| ETF | AMC | Expense Ratio | AUM (₹ Cr) | NSE Symbol | Launch |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DSP Nifty 50 Equal Weight ETF | DSP Mutual Fund | 0.34%–0.35% | 1,358 | EQUAL50ADD | — |
| Mirae Asset Nifty50 Equal Weight ETF | Mirae Asset MF | 0.56% | 176 | EQUAL50 | May 2025 |
| Motilal Oswal Nifty 50 Equal Weight ETF | Motilal Oswal AMC | 0.16% | 129 | MON50EQUAL | May 2025 |
| SBI Nifty50 Equal Weight ETF | SBI Mutual Fund | 0.36% | 37 | SBINEQWETF | — |
Data as of Jul/Aug 2026. There are also index fund (non-ETF) versions from HDFC (₹1,752 Cr / 0.30% TER), DSP (₹2,523 Cr), ICICI Prudential, Kotak, Aditya Birla Sun Life, SBI (₹1,045 Cr), and UTI tracking the same Nifty 50 Equal Weight Index — but the table above focuses on the exchange-traded fund (ETF) structure only.
Key takeaways:
- DSP dominates by far in AUM at ~₹1,358 Cr — nearly 8× the next ETF.
- Motilal Oswal is the cheapest at just 0.16% TER, though it's the newest and smallest alongside SBI.
- Mirae Asset charges the highest at 0.56% despite being mid-sized at ₹176 Cr.
- SBI is the smallest ETF at just ₹37 Cr with a 0.36% expense ratio — low liquidity risk for larger trades.
- All four ETFs track the Nifty 50 Equal Weight Total Return Index and rebalance quarterly; index reconstitution happens semi-annually alongside the Nifty 50.
Is the per share value same for all?
The per share market price (NAV) is not the same across these ETFs — they trade at different price points. Here's a quick comparison:
| ETF | Approx. NAV / Market Price (₹) |
|---|---|
| DSP Nifty 50 Equal Weight ETF | ~342 |
| Mirae Asset Nifty50 Equal Weight ETF | ~332 |
| SBI Nifty50 Equal Weight ETF | ~33 |
| Motilal Oswal Nifty 50 Equal Weight ETF | ~33 |
The main reason for the wide gap: launch price and timeline. DSP launched earlier, so its NAV has compounded over a longer period. SBI and Motilal Oswal launched more recently at lower initial NAVs (typically ₹10 or ₹25), and Mirae Asset launched around May 2025 at a different base.
Despite the different per-unit prices, all four track the identical Nifty 50 Equal Weight Index, so their percentage returns should be very close (pre-expense). The absolute rupee price is just a function of when they started and at what face value — it has no bearing on performance or value for money.
