How to bet on India's infrastructure BOOM!!

The case for investing in India's infrastructure is obvious: to keep the economy growing at a rate of 8% or more, we need to build roads, generate more electricity and provide more water to all of India.

And we need to do all of this pretty quickly.

So, barring some unforeseen economic setbacks, it's fair to expect that companies involved in the infrastructure space will grow at double-digits rates.

Good one....

To get exposure to this growth, consider buying a mutual fund which invests solely in infrastructure-related stocks. A fund is a better bet than buying individual stocks because funds invest in a number of companies and thus reduce the risk that one company's failure could decimate your portfolio.

There are around a dozen infrastructure open-ended mutual funds in India, and the number is growing. The most recent entrant was Baroda Pioneer Infrastructure Fund, launched last month.
