According to a recent Morgan Stanley report, the sector is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15%, driven by initiatives such as the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, the Goods and Services Tax (GST), and improvements in the power sector.

The BSE India Infrastructure Index Fund aims to diversify across five key infrastructure segments—energy, construction, transportation, engineering, and utilities—providing a broad representation of the sector’s growth potential. The index employs a combination of momentum strategies with controlled weight allocation to manage risk while seeking to capture the sector’s upside.The infrastructure sector has seen increased foreign direct investment in recent years, which analysts believe reflects rising confidence in the sector’s long-term outlook. The government’s focus on infrastructure development is expected to play a major role in India’s economic growth as the country moves toward its goal of becoming a developed economy by 2047.
