The fund was launched during Sberbank CEO Herman Gref's visit to India, at an event hosted at the National Stock Exchange of India. Sberbank said the offering opens a direct route for Russian investors to participate in the growth of India's largest companies.

The Nifty50 is one of the world's most widely tracked equity indices. It features 50 large, liquid stocks across 15 sectors and serves as a key barometer of India's equity market. More than 45 passive funds in India track the index, along with 22 passive funds overseas.

Launched in 1996, the Nifty50 will mark its 30th anniversary in April 2026.
