Nippon India Mutual Fund took command of the commodity ETF counter during the festive rush, capturing roughly 55% of the total trading liquidity on the National Stock Exchange.
The volume was massive.
Between November 6 and November 11, Nippon India's Gold and Silver exchange-traded funds recorded a combined average daily turnover of ₹806 crore. That slice came out of an aggregate industry average daily turnover of ₹1,468 crore across both precious metal categories, according to exchange data released by the asset management company. Retail and institutional accounts shifted heavy volume into paper bullion during the six-day trading window, preferring exchange execution over physical retail counters.
Gold trading remained anchored to the market's largest fund. Nippon India ETF Gold BeES clocked an average daily turnover of ₹442.7 crore during the period.
That single instrument accounted for 54% of the NSE's total Gold ETF turnover, which averaged ₹825 crore per day. All rival gold funds listed on the exchange generated an aggregate daily turnover of ₹382.3 crore. Buyers absorbed liquidity without widening bid-ask spreads, routing trades directly through demat accounts.
The dominance proved even starker in white metal contracts.
Nippon India Silver ETF logged an average daily turnover of ₹363.8 crore between November 6 and November 11. The tally gave the fund house a 57% market share in the segment, out of a total industry silver turnover averaging ₹642.9 crore each session. Competing silver funds generated a combined ₹279.1 crore per day.

Market Context: Exchange turnover measures the gross value of units bought and sold on the trading screen during market hours. The metric is distinct from net fund inflows, redemptions, or alterations to a fund's overarching assets under management. It reflects instantaneous liquidity and secondary market velocity rather than sticky asset allocation.
Traditional festive buying historically required direct jewellery shop visits, physical coin purchases, and vault storage arrangements. Paper bullion eliminates those logistical frictions.
Investors bought and settled metal units through demat accounts during standard exchange trading sessions, tracking real-time underlying commodity spot prices. The NSE data highlights how liquidity naturally clusters around first-mover schemes during intense seasonal demand, locking rival asset managers out of primary secondary-market flow as trading books normalize past the Diwali window.
