Indian apps like Groww, Zerodha, Angel One, and Upstox just made it a lot easier for eligible Indian resident investors to buy US stocks and ETFs.

Thanks to a fresh nod from the IFSCA and the use of Gujarat's GIFT City, you can now buy US stocks and ETFs through the apps.

US fractional shares $1, fees vary

You can start investing in US stocks for as little as $1 with fractional shares.

Groww offers over 10,000 options at a 0.1% fee; Zerodha is testing up to 2,000 stocks with $10 maximum per order;

Angel One has no brokerage through December 2026; Upstox lists over 8,000 stocks.
