MUMBAI: Invesco Mutual Fund today announced the launch of its new fund Invesco India Manufacturing Fund, (an open-ended equity scheme following a manufacturing theme).
Invesco India Manufacturing Fund seeks to generate capital appreciation and will invest 80% – 100% in equity & equity-related instruments of companies following the manufacturing theme.

The fund will be benchmarked to Nifty India Manufacturing TRI and will be managed by the fund managers, Mr. Amit Ganatra and Mr. Dhimant Kothari.
Speaking at the launch, Amit Ganatra, Head of Equities & Fund Manager, Invesco Mutual Fund said, “The manufacturing sector stands at the cusp of a significant transformation, driven by robust domestic demand, global supply chain realignments, stable inflation and interest rates, and supportive government policies. The government is actively implementing policies, incentives, subsidies, lowering corporate tax rates, and increasing capital expenditures to position India as a global manufacturing hub. These factors collectively position India as a promising destination for manufacturing investments, poised for robust growth in the coming years.”
Amit Ganatra further said, “With a large pool of entrepreneurial talent and substantial export potential, the sector offers immense opportunities for investors. Initiatives like ‘Make in India’ and infrastructure development, along with competitive advantages in labor, energy, land, capital, and entrepreneurship will further bolster this sector.
The recent Budget 2024-25 announced by the Government provides special attention to MSMEs and manufacturing, particularly labor-intensive manufacturing, with a comprehensive package covering financing, regulatory changes, and technology support.”
