They share 24% of their holdings
From their latest disclosed portfolios, 24% of each fund sits in the same shares, across 5 companies, led by ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Larsen & Toubro, Reliance Industr. That is a moderate overlap: the two funds differ enough to behave differently, but they are not independent.
What the numbers do not settle
The fund that was ahead over the last 5 years is not reliably the one ahead over the next. Look at whether a lead holds across periods, what each fund would cost you to enter and leave, and which fits the rest of what you own.
