+91-22-489139097 Best Performing Infrastructure Mutual Funds 2026 – 2027
With India’s rising Capital Expenditure and renewed private participation, the infrastructure sector is once again attracting strong investor attention. From green energy and transport corridors to digital connectivity, the next wave of growth is expected to come from infrastructure-linked companies — making these funds an exciting long-term theme.
The infrastructure story of India has always been a symbol of growth and resilience. From highways and power grids to airports and digital networks, every milestone has strengthened the country’s economic foundations.
Over the past decade, infrastructure as a theme has played a pivotal role in India’s development narrative. A major boost came when the government intensified its focus on connectivity, smart cities, logistics, renewable energy, and affordable housing.
This renewed focus has translated into higher capital expenditure, stronger investor confidence, and steady performance among infrastructure-linked companies. No wonder, infrastructure Mutual Funds are once again in the spotlight for long-term investors.
What are Infrastructure Mutual Funds?
Infrastructure mutual funds are sectoral Equity Funds that invest primarily in companies engaged in the development, construction, and operation of infrastructure projects.
These may include businesses in -
- Power and energy
- Metals and mining
- Construction and Real Estate
- Logistics and transportation
- Telecom and utilities
Because they are sector-specific, their returns are directly linked to how well India’s infrastructure sector performs.
💡 Example - When the government increases capital spending on roads and railways, stocks of construction, cement, and steel companies often see a rally — which benefits infrastructure funds.

Why Infrastructure Funds Are in the Spotlight
Strong Government Push - Increased capital expenditure on transport, energy, and logistics networks.
Private Participation - Growing PPP (Public-Private Partnership) projects across highways, ports, and airports.
Rising Urbanisation - Demand for housing, power, and smart infrastructure is rising rapidly.
Long-Term Growth Theme - India’s GDP expansion is directly tied to infrastructure capacity.
As a result, many top-performing infrastructure funds have delivered strong double-digit returns in the recent past.

How to Pick Best Infrastructure Funds to Invest
Some of the important parameters to choose a right infrastructure fund are:
1. Performance Consistency
Choose funds that have consistently outperformed their benchmark indices (like Nifty Infrastructure Index) across at least 4–5 years. Avoid being swayed by short-term returns.
2. Fund Size (AUM)
An ideal AUM should be neither too small nor too large. A mid-sized fund often allows better flexibility and liquidity.
3. Fund House & Manager Track Record
The experience of the fund manager and the credibility of the AMC matter greatly. Review how their other funds have performed in volatile markets.
4. Investment Horizon
Since infrastructure is a cyclical sector, investors should have a long-term horizon (ideally 5+ years) to ride out short-term Volatility.
5. Risk Profile
