Best Index Funds / ETFs Mutual Funds 2026

Index Funds / ETFs is a SEBI-defined mutual fund category. Every fund below follows the same category mandate, which makes their returns directly comparable — the differences you see come from the fund manager's choices and the fund's costs, not from a difference in what they are allowed to hold.

How to read the table below

Returns are annualised and computed from our own AMFI NAV history rather than taken from a fund factsheet, so every fund on this page is measured to the same date on the same basis. The category average is calculated across the same set.

Expense ratio is the annual cost, already deducted from the NAV you see. Direct plans cost less than regular plans because they carry no distributor commission.

Past returns describe what happened; they are not a forecast.

Frequently asked questions

How are Index Funds / ETFs funds ranked on this page?+

By three-year annualised return, computed from official AMFI NAV history to a common date, so every fund is measured on the same basis. Funds without a full three-year record are listed separately rather than ranked against funds that have one.

Are these returns after fees?+

Yes. Returns are calculated from NAV, and the expense ratio is already deducted from NAV daily. The expense-ratio column tells you what that ongoing cost is.

How this page is produced

Every figure above is computed from our own archive of the official AMFI NAV file, going back to 2006, to NAV dated 18 Aug 2026. Nothing is copied from a fund factsheet or a third-party data vendor, which is why every fund on this page can be measured to the same date on the same basis. The full method is published, including its limitations.

Returns are annualised over 3Y and the category average is calculated across the same set of funds shown above. Tax rules summarised on this page are general and current for FY 2026-27 — confirm your own position with a qualified tax adviser.

This page describes what each fund has done. It is not investment advice and not a recommendation to buy or sell any scheme.
