Fund Overview

ICICI Prudential Infrastructure Fund — Quick Summary

ICICI Prudential Infrastructure Fund is India's largest infrastructure sector fund by AUM. The fund invests across the full infrastructure ecosystem — construction companies, cement, steel, capital goods makers, engineering firms, port and airport operators, power utilities and road developers. Its long history since 2005 means investors can evaluate performance across the government capex build-up (2004-2008), the post-GFC slowdown (2009-2014) and the current capex upcycle (2021-present).

The fund benefits from ICICI Pru's macro research capabilities — understanding where India is in the capex cycle is as important as stock-specific analysis in infrastructure investing. ICICI Pru's strong macro team, led by CIO Sankaran Naren, provides top-down direction to the infrastructure fund's sector allocation within the broader infrastructure universe.

AMFI Scheme Code: 120621
The official AMFI scheme code for ICICI Prudential Infrastructure Fund Direct Growth is 120621. Use this when transacting on platforms or verifying data across databases.
Important Note
Points Worth Knowing
Infrastructure stocks have already re-rated significantly in the 2021-2024 rally. Valuations in cement, capital goods and construction are at multi-year highs. Infrastructure funds at these valuation levels carry meaningful correction risk if government capex slows or misses expectations. SIP approach is safer than lump sum at current valuations.
Investment Objective
As per Scheme Information Document
To generate capital appreciation and income distribution to unit holders by investing predominantly in equity/equity related instruments in the infrastructure sector.
