Taipei, March 31 (CNA) Investors in Taiwan have gained access to stocks in the equity market of India, with three exchange-traded funds (ETF) tracking the Indian market now listed on the local main board, according to the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE).

The three ETFs — the Fubon NIFTY ETF, Fubon NIFTY 2X Leveraged Index ETF, and the Fubon NIFTY -1 Inverse Index ETF — were listed on the main board March 29, giving Taiwan traders a chance to invest in Indian equities, the TWSE said.
