India's first ETF (launched 2001 by Benchmark AMC, now Nippon), NIFTYBEES has the lowest expense ratio at 0.04% and the highest daily trading volume among Nifty 50 ETFs. The tight bid-ask spread (often just 1-2 paise) means you lose nothing to market impact even for large purchases. Best choice for most retail investors.
SBI ETF Nifty 50 has a staggering ₹2.14 lakh crore AUM — driven by EPFO (Employees' Provident Fund Organisation) mandated allocation of 15% of incremental corpus into equity via this ETF. Every salaried Indian's PF contribution partly flows into SETFNIF50. Despite low daily trading volume for retail, it is perfectly suitable for long-term buy-and-hold investors.
UTI's Nifty 50 ETF at ₹69,235 Cr AUM is India's third-largest and provides identical Nifty 50 exposure. Good liquidity and UTI's government-backed lineage. An equally valid choice if your broker shows better pricing for UTINIFTETF.
