S000022341 [Member] Investment Strategy - iShares India 50 ETF	Mar. 31, 2026
Prospectus [Line Items]
Strategy [Heading]	Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	The Fund seeks to track the investment results of the Nifty 50 IndexTM (the “Underlying Index”), which measures the equity performance of the top 50 companies by free float market capitalization whose equity securities trade in the Indian securities markets, as determined by NSE Indices Ltd. (formerly known as India Index Services & Products Limited) (the “Index Provider” or “NSEI”). As of March 31, 2026, a significant portion of the Underlying Index was represented by securities of companies in the consumer goods and services and financials industries or sectors. The components of the Underlying Index are likely to change over time. The Fund seeks to track the investment results of the Underlying Index before fees and expenses of the Fund. BFA uses a representative sampling indexing strategy to manage the Fund. “Representative sampling” is an indexing strategy that involves investing in a representative sample of securities or other instruments intended to collectively have an investment profile similar to that of an applicable underlying index. The instruments selected are expected to have, in the aggregate, investment characteristics (based on factors such as market capitalization and industry weightings), fundamental characteristics (such as return variability and yield) and liquidity measures similar to those of an applicable underlying index. The Fund may or may not hold all of the components of the Underlying Index. The Fund may use derivatives to gain or reduce exposure to the components of the Underlying Index or exposure to one or more market risk factors associated with such components. Subject to the limits described herein, the Fund may purchase and hold cash and cash equivalents, including shares of money market funds advised by BFA or its affiliates, and may also purchase and hold instruments not included in the Underlying Index when BFA believes that such instruments will help the Fund track the performance of the Underlying Index over time, including in light of expected liquidity or trading costs, anticipated additions to or deletions from the Underlying Index, or other reasons as determined by BFA. In accordance with Rule 35d-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), under normal circumstances, the Fund will not invest less than 80% of the value of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in components of its Underlying Index. Investments in derivatives and other investments will be counted toward the Fund’s 80% investment policy to the extent that they provide exposure to the components of its Underlying Index or exposure to one or more market risk factors associated with such components. The Fund’s 80% investment policy may be changed by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) upon 60 days’ notice to shareholders. The Underlying Index is a product of NSEI, which is independent of the Fund and BFA. The Index Provider determines the composition and relative weightings of the components of the Underlying Index and publishes information regarding the market value of the Underlying Index. This Prospectus and the SAI have not been filed with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”), and SEBI will not in any manner vouch for the financial soundness of the Fund, BFA or the Portfolio Managers (as defined below), or for the adequacy of the statements made in this Prospectus and the SAI. BFA and the Portfolio Managers will not be registered with SEBI. Industry Concentration Policy. The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent that the Underlying Index is concentrated. For purposes of this limitation, securities of the U.S. government (including its agencies and instrumentalities) and repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government securities are not considered to be issued by members of any industry.
