The expense ratio is only part of the cost. Tracking difference shows what a fund lost to its index over a year, and the premium shows what you paid over the fund's value when you bought on the exchange. All 351 NSE-listed ETFs are covered.
Written for ETF buyers comparing funds on the same index, and anyone using gold, silver or international ETFs. Data to 5 Oct 2026.
What holders got: the exchange price against the index
You buy and sell an ETF at its market price, not its NAV, so the cost that counts is how the price's total return compares with the index's. Over the past year the median equity ETF's price-based gap was 0.15 points a year worse than its NAV-based one, and the difference is the change in its premium. Week to week, the price strays from the index far more than the NAV does.
ETFs trading ₹1 crore a day or more, grouped by index, to 5 Oct 2026. Price and NAV versus index: annualised total return minus the index's, in points; negative means the ETF lagged. Tracking error: the annualised spread of the weekly gap. Gold ETFs are measured against a daily domestic gold price struck at a different time, which overstates their tracking error; silver ETFs have no benchmark series yet.
For liquid equity ETFs the median tracking error is 1.75% on price against 0.06% on NAV. Among the 10 Nifty 50 ETFs trading ₹50 lakh a day or more, the price-based result ranged from GROWWNIFTY's +0.38 pts to NIFTYBETA's −0.15 pts a year.
Premiums and discounts, ETF by ETF
How far each ETF's closing price sat from its NAV on the days it traded in the last 250 sessions. A tight range around zero means market makers keep the price honest. A wide one, or many days more than 1% away, means you can buy well above what the fund holds, or sell well below it. International ETFs trade at large premiums because the cap on overseas investment stops new units being created.
ETFs trading ₹50 lakh a day or more, by traded value, to 5 Oct 2026. Premium: closing price over the same day's NAV, minus one.

The readings
Premiums are medians across ETFs in a category, using the exchange close against that day's NAV. International ETFs are kept apart: they hold foreign shares, so their NAV and price are struck hours apart.
An ETF's price can drift from the value of what it holds. Near zero is healthy. A lasting premium means buyers are paying more than the holdings are worth; for international ETFs it comes from the cap on overseas investment, which stops new units being created.
Equity ETFs: premium to NAV
Weekly median across ETFs in the category, exchange close against same-day NAV. Liquid ETFs are zero by construction.
How to read it. The line is the typical ETF; the shaded band is the middle half of ETFs in the category. Above zero, buyers paid more than the holdings were worth.

Choose an ETF to see its own premium and how far it has trailed its index. For an illiquid ETF the closing price can be a stale last trade, so its premium is noisy.
NIFTYBEES: premium, liquidity and tracking, weekly
Weekly, exchange close against NAV.
How to read it. Persistent readings far from zero are a cost you pay on the way in, or get back on the way out.
