Motilal Oswal Launches Infrastructure Equity Fund to Tap India’s Growth Surge

Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund introduced its Infrastructure Fund, a new open-ended equity scheme looking to take the ride on India's infrastructure boom. The scheme is open for subscription from April 23 to May 7, 2025. Infra sectors driving changes in the nation—roads, railways, power, and digital infrastructure—are to be invested in by the scheme. Benchmarking the Nifty Infrastructure Total Return Index, the scheme will strive for long-term capital growth through targeting firms directly or indirectly involved in the development of infrastructure.

Aided by a searing rise in government capital spending—₹111 lakh crore for FY20–25—the fund offers retail investors ringside access to India's infrastructure revolution. Investment of at least ₹500, with growth or IDCW option, is a bare minimum of entry. The Motilal Oswal management maintains that the fund is an investors' passport to join the journey of the country's speed-up of modernization, but sector-specific dangers still lurk.
