Investor Impact: Positive for retail investors - Provides new investment opportunity in small-cap equity segment through both Regular and Direct plan options with flexible investment modes (lump sum and SIP).

Impact Justification

Routine NFO launch notification for mutual fund platform. No regulatory changes or compliance requirements for listed companies. Limited to mutual fund distributors and investors.
