Indian Government Halts Use of ETFs for Public Sector Disinvestment

The Union finance ministry halts using ETF as a disinvestment tool.
No ETF has been issued in the last three years; the approach previously raised significant revenue but led to oversupply.
CPSE-ETF and Bharat 22 ETF approaches had limited scope as many stocks reached max GOI equity level or were unavailable due to strategic disinvestment.
