Infrastructure developed by government will only mean the funds finding their way into pockets of politicians, bureaucrats, engineers etc.... I think Infrastructure funds set up by the mutual funds is a better idea

I totally agree with you Vijaya, Unless & Until they do not guarantee that 100 % flow will be made in to the infrastructure only Its better to invest in the share market.

In addition to this the 1.5 Lakh deduction currently available to home loan should also be available to investments into infrastructure MF(Roads,ports,power). The person who invests in real estate to get this tax benefit will think of investing in this MF as well. Which may cool off Real estate market and money needed for Infra. development will be available without FDI.
