No — all counts exclude index funds, ETFs, and fund of funds. Only actively managed equity mutual funds are counted. Index funds mechanically hold stocks in proportion to index weight — their holdings do not reflect active manager conviction. By excluding them, fund counts here more accurately represent where professional stock pickers are actively building or reducing positions in India water and sanitation sector.
