In an addendum dated 4 June 2026, the fund house said that subscription transactions by large investors directly into the HDFC Gold ETF will not be accepted from 8 June 2026 onwards. The restriction applies to investments of at least Rs 25 crore made directly with the fund.

The asset manager has also imposed limits on lump sum investments in the HDFC Gold ETF Fund of Fund (FOF). Under the revised rules, lump sum purchases and switch-ins into the scheme will be processed only up to Rs 10 lakh per PAN per calendar month at the first-holder level.

The limit for the FOF will be applicable to transactions received after the cut-off time of 3:00 PM on 5 June 2026.

HDFC Mutual Fund said the restrictions are temporary and will remain in force until further notice. The fund house did not specify the duration of the measures.

The changes affect only fresh lump sum subscriptions, while all other terms and conditions of the schemes remain unchanged, the fund house added.

The addendum forms an integral part of the Scheme Information Document (SID) and Key Information Memorandum (KIM) of both schemes.

The scheme aims to generate returns, before expenses, that correspond to the total returns of the BSE Clean Environment Index, subject to tracking error. It will follow a passive investment strategy and use the BSE Clean Environment Total Return Index as its benchmark.

According to the latest BSE factsheet, the BSE Clean Environment Index consists of 25 stocks and follows a capped free-float market capitalisation methodology. The index was launched on 20 January 2026, with a base value of 1,000 and a first value date of 18 December 2017. It is reconstituted semi-annually in June and December.

As of 29 May 2026, the index had delivered a 26.98% return over the last three months and a 16.78% return on a year-to-date basis. The one-year return stood at 1.72%, while annualised returns over three and five years were 32.60% and 36%, respectively.

The top constituents of the index include Suzlon Energy, Adani Green Energy, Tata Power, JSW Energy, Waaree Energies, NHPC, Ather Energy, MTAR Technologies, Premier Energies and NTPC Green Energy. Together, the top 10 holdings account for more than 82% of the index weight.

Sector-wise, utilities account for 52.55% of the index, followed by industrials at 36.64%, consumer discretionary at 9.37% and commodities at 1.44%.

The index is constructed from the BSE 1000 universe and requires constituent companies to derive more than 25% of their revenue from clean environment-related businesses. Individual stock weights are capped at 15%.

Investors can subscribe to the scheme with a minimum investment of Rs 500 during the NFO period and thereafter. The fund will levy an exit load of 1% if units are redeemed within 15 days from allotment. No exit load will apply after that period.

The equity portion of the fund will be managed by Swapnil Mayekar, with Dishant Mehta as associate fund manager. The debt component will be managed by Rakesh Shetty.

The launch comes amid growing investor interest in thematic and environmental investing, offering a low-cost, index-based route to gain exposure to companies participating in India's energy transition and clean infrastructure ecosystem.
