Indian ETFs jump after the United States pledges to cut tariffs on Indian goods to 18%, boosting sentiment and sparking a sharp rally in local markets.

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.

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.

He also repeated his claim that the U.S. played a key role in the ceasefire between India and Pakistan in May, which India has denied on numerous occasions.<h2 class="st-heading-2">What Did The US President Say?</h2>“I'm doing a trade deal with India, and I have great respect and love for Prime Minister Modi,” Trump said. He also said he spoke with both Modi and Pakistan’s prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif, and threatened to withdraw from trade deals with their respective nations, which helped avert a “nuclear war.”While Trump and Modi have shared a cordial relationship in the past, the U.S. President’s assertions about the American role in ending the conflict between India and its neighbor have strained it.

Last week, a report by the Indian publication Mint stated that India and the U.S. are on the cusp of finalizing a long-overdue trade agreement that could significantly lower U.S. tariffs on Indian goods from around 50% to 15%-16%. This is contingent on India’s commitment to scaling back its purchases of Russian oil.The report stated that as part of the proposed deal, India may permit higher imports of non-genetically modified U.S. corn and soymeal. This has been another sticking point in the ongoing negotiations, as India guarded the price-sensitive agricultural and dairy markets.The agreement could also include a framework for periodic review of tariffs and market access.While no deal has been formally announced, Indian External Affairs Minister S.
