India ETFs Offer Compelling Growth Upside: Is the Risk Worth Taking?

Despite tariff worries and equity outflows, India's growth story makes its ETFs a compelling play.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Retail-driven speculation propelled a little-known Indian chipmaker to historic gains, even as losses mount.</li><li>Regulators have stepped in amid concerns over trading activity, curbing liquidity, and intensifying scrutiny of the rally.</li><li>The rally highlights how AI-linked narratives can fuel meme-stock behavior even in the absence of clear earnings visibility.</li></ul>Technology stocks shone the brightest this year, underpinned by strong performances by artificial intelligence (AI) plays, including chipmakers, storage solutions companies, and data infrastructure companies. Granted, it was not a steady, steep ascent, but the trend was broadly to the upside, interspersed with minor pullbacks.&nbsp;AI stalwart Nvidia is up a relatively less glamorous 29% this year, but its chip peers Micron, Broadcom, Intel, and AMD have had a stronger run. So did the storage solutions companies such as Western Digital, its spin-off company Sandisk, and Seagate Technology, as well as chip-equipment makers Lam Research and KLA Corp.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Breakout Story Or Shady Play?</h2>But an obscure chipmaker in the eastern part of the world has beaten all these big giants fair and square in terms of stock performance — a David in the world of AI Goliaths.However, the company’s opacity continues to deepen by the day. Welcome to the world of RRP Semiconductor. The Thane, India-based company has built an Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly &amp; Test (OSAT) facility in Maharashtra for chip packaging, fabrication, and testing.&nbsp;The company's financial soundness, however, is in question. RRP Semi reported negative revenue of Rs. 682.14 lakhs ($68.2 million) for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2025, according to its filings with the stock exchange. Its adjusted loss swung wildly from Rs. 0.21 a year ago to Rs. 5.25.Incorporated as a trading investment firm in 1980, the company transitioned into the electronics and semiconductor industry, renaming itself RRP Semiconductor in May 2025, according to information from the stock market analytics firm Trendlyne.&nbsp;RRP Semi landed in trouble with regulators after social media speculation that Indian cricketing great Sachin Tendulkar had invested in the company sent its shares soaring. The sports icon had attended the inauguration of the Navi Mumbai OSAT plant in late March 2024. In a filing with the BSE in mid-October, the company clarified that Tendulkar has not subscribed to its shares and that the company has not received land from the government of Maharashtra. This Indian state is located here.&nbsp;<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/YTD_Gain_Of_AI_plays_png_bcaa026187.webp" alt="YTD Gain Of AI plays.png">Source: TradingViewFor the year-to-date period, RRPSemi stock has skyrocketed about 6,000%. It hit a peak of Rs. 11,902 (intraday) on Monday and has been retreating amid regulatory scrutiny. The gains are much more outsized at 55,000% over the 20 months through Dec. 17, and, according to Bloomberg, this marked the most significant increase among companies worldwide with a market value above $1 billion.

A limit-up session refers to a scenario when a stock or index reaches the upper circuit limit, or the pre-defined maximum allowable price increase for the day. According to a Bloomberg chart, RRP Semi has seen a surge in retail participation in the second half of the year.&nbsp;RRP Semi is 98% owned by Rajendra Chodankar, the founder of RRP Group, the parent company, and some of his associates.Traders in the stock had thrown caution to the wind and plunged long into the stock despite the exchanges and the company flagging potential issues. The Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the stock market regulator in India, has begun looking into whether any wrongdoing is involved in RRP Semi’s stock surge, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The stock is now restricted to trading only once a week.&nbsp;For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/micron-proved-ai-boom-isn-t-over-and-exposed-oracle-broadcom/cLegKbQREAe">Micron Just Proved the AI Boom Isn’t Over — And Exposed What Oracle, Broadcom Got Wrong</a>

Indian ETFs like INDA and FLIN gain spotlight as U.S.-India trade deal seems to near, which could slash tariffs and reignite investor confidence. 

U.S. President Donald Trump struck a constructive tone on Tuesday regarding trade negotiations with India and his "very good friend," Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, even as he urged European Union officials, behind closed doors, to impose high tariffs on the South Asian nation.Trump reportedly discussed the proposal in a meeting with EU officials on Tuesday, according to a Financial Times&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ft.com/content/2267eb41-b19a-4a9f-93ca-14ac0343cd77">report</a>, based on information from unnamed U.S. officials, published in the evening. He has asked for up to 100% EU tariffs on imports from India as well as China, in a move aimed at turning up the heat on Moscow to end the war in Ukraine.The two nations heavily purchase Russian oil, something Trump has criticized, saying that it indirectly funds the Ukraine war.Last month, the U.S. announced a 50% tariff rate on Indian exports, in part because of the country's trade with Russia. The move came as a surprise and signaled tensions between the U.S. and India, which have traditionally had friendly relations.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;About an hour after the FT report, Trump posted on his Truth Social account that the U.S. is working with India to resolve trade barriers."I look forward to speaking with my very good friend, Prime Minister Modi, in the upcoming weeks. I feel certain that there will be no difficulty in coming to a successful conclusion for both of our Great Countries!" he&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115176472700835865">said</a>.Modi<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/narendramodi/status/1965597878237139351">&nbsp;replied</a> through his X account early Wednesday morning (India time), saying the two countries are "close friends and natural partners" and expressing confidence in reaching a trade agreement that benefits both.Meanwhile, Trump told reporters Tuesday evening that he expects to have a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin "this week or early next week". Trump has for months pushed to end the war in Ukraine with limited success, as Russian attacks in the country have intensified in recent weeks.The latest development also follows a seemingly successful summit between Chinese President Xi Jinping, Putin, and Modi last week.The U.S. market has outperformed India’s in terms of growth so far this year, a period marked by intense volatility due to Trump’s ever-evolving tariff plan. The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)</a> has gained 10.3%, compared to a 1.6% decline in the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/INDA">iShares MSCI India ETF (INDA)</a>, which tracks Indian stocks.On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment for SPY remained in the ‘bullish’ zone, while that for INDA dropped to ‘neutral’ from ‘bullish’ the previous day.Editor’s note: This story has been updated with Indian PM Narendra Modi’s reaction to Trump’s Truth Social post.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
