ETF 22 is a part of the Government’s disinvestment strategy. It is just like the CPSE ETF that was launched earlier. It comprises of 22 companies across 6 sectors in the public sector. Each stock has a maximum weighage cap of 20% and sectors have a cap of 15%, this according to me is a decent portfolio strategy.
Do check this press coverage for more info.

Bharat 22 is an Index which is being created by S&P Asia and an ETF is being derived from it. The goal behind the creation of this index is for the government to divest its holdings in these PSUs and SUTTI holdings.
The ETF will comprise of 22 companies and some from SUUTI (Specified Undertaking of Unit Trust of India). There will be a single stock cap of 15% and a sectoral cap of 20%. The components are diversified across Basic Metals, Energy, FMCG, Industrials and Utilities. Other AMCs can also use the Index to build their own products. This is the second ETF the government has come out with after the CPSE ETF through which it has raised Rs.9000 crores so far.

How does CPSE ETF Performed in the last 1 years?
CPSE ETF gave more than 20% returns in the last 1 year.In Mar-2017, CPSE ETF FFO came and it was issued at discounted price of Rs 26.8. It got listed in Mar-2017 at Rs 27.6. However the trend in the last 6 months has not been good. Till one week back it was trading at below its issue price. After the announcement of Bharat-22 ETF Index, CPSE ETF gained more than 10%. Means this has been under performer in the last 5-6 months despite stock markets reached to new highs.
How to subscribe to Bharat-22 ETF?
Though Govt of India has launched this ETF, you need to wait for formal launch of this ETF so that you can subscribe to it. Even this time, investors are expecting that Govt. of India would give retail discount (like CPSE ETF) which may be around 5% of the underlying NAV value. One need to wait for Bharat-22 ETF IPO to come for subscription.

How ITC came here🤔
ITC came the same way as L&T came in. This is historic holding of Unit Trust of India. Once UTI went under, govt took over all its asset and places it under SUUTI. As part of it govt continues to hold big chunk of L&T, ITC and some other companies. A part of which was placed in Bharat 22 ETF.

How do we view the chart of the underlying index, S&P BSE BHARAT 22 index, on the Kite watchlist?
Unable to find the chart for this index with these words.
I can only find the chart of the ETF though. ICICIB22 is the ticker symbol for the ETF.
Would anyone know how to view the chart of this underlying index?
Why to look for copper when real jewelries are all around…
I am able to see the chart for the Bharat ETF 22 's underlying index, the S&P BSE Bharat 22 index, on TradingView website at this link: S&P BSE Bharat 22 index on TV
Why can’t we see the chart of the same index on Kite web or mobile apps? @siva @Bhuvan
Can try with ICICIB22 symbol name, I know it is very tough to figure out as of now, working to add ISIN search in coming days.

Thanks, @siva. But ICICIB22 is the ETF, right? not the underlying index?
When I compare charts of ETF with their respective indices, the index charts show a clearer/meaningful picture.
For example, Niftybees and Nifty50 chart. The Niftybees chart tends to show long candles every day, almost suggesting/showing a wide daily range, but they seem to be some spikes at market opening 5 minutes and the price of ETF seems to be in a narrow range for rest of the day. In comparison, the Nifty50 index chart shows a clearer picture of how the index is, where its possible support/resistance are and whether if it is trending or in a range.
Is there anyway to see the actual chart of this index within Kite?
