The tailwinds are emerging from several fronts — policy reforms like Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) and Make in India, global supply chain diversification, investments and capacity utilisation, and demographics.
 

"The launch of Canara Robeco Manufacturing Fund in an attempt to capitalise on India’s potential to become the next manufacturing hub. The fund is an open-ended equity scheme that represents India’s manufacturing theme and will be benchmarked against the S&P BSE India Manufacturing Total Return Index (TRI)," the fund house said in a release.

The fund house has launched the new fund offering (NFO) with special features of auto switch, wherein investors can initially invest in a debt fund and switch it to the manufacturing fund on the last day of the NFO to avoid losing gains during the NFO period.
