Fund Overview

Axis India Manufacturing Fund - Quick Summary

Axis India Manufacturing Fund invests in companies benefiting from India's manufacturing renaissance — driven by the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme across 14 sectors, China+1 supply chain diversification, defence indigenisation and the broader Make in India initiative. The fund covers electronics manufacturers, specialty chemical companies, auto component makers, textile exporters, pharmaceutical manufacturers and industrial machinery companies.

The PLI scheme is providing ₹1.97 lakh crore in incentives across 14 sectors — electronics, pharmaceuticals, telecom, specialty steel, automobiles, advanced chemistry cells and more. Companies receiving PLI incentives are committing to significant capacity expansion — creating a multi-year capex cycle in Indian manufacturing. Axis India Manufacturing Fund aims to capture the equity returns from this manufacturing investment cycle.

Points Worth Knowing

Evaluate each company's actual PLI implementation progress rather than assuming all PLI-themed stocks will benefit. Manufacturing sector also faces global competition and raw material cost risks.
Investment Objective
As per Scheme Information Document
To provide long term capital appreciation by investing in equity and equity related instruments of companies engaged in manufacturing activities in India.
