South Korea's Mirae Asset Global Investments said on Thursday that the net assets of its TIGER India Billion Consumer ETF surpassed 200 billion won ($145 million).

The exchange-traded fund (ETF), which debuted on May 14, held net assets of 206.4 billion won ($149.5 million) as of Wednesday, the asset manager said in a statement.

Individual investors have cumulatively contributed 36 billion won to the product.

This ETF invests in the top 20 Indian consumer goods companies.

These include Tata Motors, a commercial vehicle company, Titan Company, a jewelry brand, Zomato, a food delivery platform, and Hindustan Unilever, the country's largest household goods company.

"With private consumption expenditure exceeding 60% of India's GDP and domestic consumption growing faster than GDP, the economy is demonstrably consumption-driven," a Mirae Asset Global Investments source said. 

"The TIGER India Billion Consumer ETF is well-positioned to benefit from India's long-term economic growth."
