Hey @Augustine_Charly, Recently I have found this Screener on Trendlyne for ETFs and it has quite a lot of information, I would like you to take a look at it and explore it further.
Trendlyne ETFs Dashboard
For specific ETFs, you can find the impact cost on the dedicated ETF page of the NSE website (example)
If you want to check the impact cost of all the ETFs in one place, then refer to the monthly Impact Cost report that NSE publishes (https://archives.nseindia.com/content/nsccl/C_CATG.T01 - present in the last column) - this data will match with what is shown on the website.
Note - As the above report contains impact cost for all instruments, to filter it only for ETFs, you can get the list of ETF trading symbols via this page on the NSE website and then use Excel’s VLOOKUP function to filter them specifically.
Do note that these are historical impact cost numbers (updated once a month using the preceding month’s data), so be cautious about blindly using them for trading purposes as impact cost will vary based on prevailing liquidity, time of day, etc. So do double-check the market depth before placing orders as the majority of the ETFs are illiquid.

while finally decided to Sell any ETF with enough Gains in Short duration as stipulated by any investor the easy way is to place a sell order 1 Paisa less than the Prevailing current Market Rate to solve the liquidity issue.
However, while Buying an ETF enough volume is to be seen firstly prior to investment and If final decision is to invest Buy 1 Paisa higher than the Current Market Rate.
In US Etf Market the average Minimum Volume is about 5 Lakh avoiding 0 volume Efts.
In India i use 25000 Volume to Buy an ETF.
Moreover I Never Sell any ETF from My Library n Minus. Good Luck.
I think this list has to be updated. I wont find the etfs mentioned on this page on Zerodha app or web application.
Yep. Will update
Hi @Ansu
Missed this in the last few days. We’ll share the comprehensive list of ETFs on a separate thread by Monday. Sorry for the delay.

I think not yet updated. Still the old one.
Over the past few days I have been backtesting one quant strategy. It involves rotating money between Midcap 150 and Goldbees. Back test data from March 2007 to May 2026 shows very good risk adjusted return. I did this back test with Claude. Attaching the snapshot of results. Even though backtest is very good, I wanted to ask on the execution part. I have heard in India ETF’s are not that great. Who knows the future? Might be the case that ETF’s become illiquid (especially the midcap 150 etf). Wanted to hear perspective on the execution. Main risk I feel is of liquidity only. Currently the average rupee volume (20 days) for mid150bees is 23 Cr, but it can be prone to dropping in future right? Wanted to know from someone experienced. @Bhuvan
To be clear,
did this “backtest” involve anything deterministic or was it textual analysis only?
(eg. some code (even if generated using an LLM) running on actual historical market data?)
If not, the results/summaries might not be what they seem like.
The LLMs could have just as easily performed some statistical analysis assuming randomised uniform distribution, and not actual historical market data.
( Just highlighting the possibility, since it’s not clear from the post/screenshot. )

Could you explain the investment method? Like when you invest in midcap150 and when you invest in gold and how much. when do you sell and rotate the money to the other ETF?
HDFCSML250
HDFCMID150
Just came to know of these two. Planning to slowly switch out of my mutual funds to these two… primarily to simplify number of accounts and statements needed for tax filing.
