A majority of investors have indicated that they will invest in India over the next 12 months, according to data by the Centre for Investor Education (CIE).
The results were based on a poll taken during a week long study tour in India in March. The poll surveyed 60 investors, 40 of whom said they would increase their exposure to India across all asset classes.
Of the 60 investors surveyed, most represented Australian superannuation funds and institutional money, according to CIE chair Melda Donnelly.
"Many of the investors attending the conference saw the event as an opportunity to re-evaluate their investment processes and decision making. They were looking to increase their investment in India either through their existing emerging manger mandates or directly in infrastructure," Donnelly said.
Asset consultant Frontier Investment Consulting backed the findings; however, the firm has taken a more regional focus.
"We are very interested in investment opportunities in Asia generally, and India is a significant part in that region," Frontier Investment Consulting consultant Allison Hill said.
"We are currently researching the best way to access investment opportunities in that region," she said.
Frontier represents a number of industry superannuation funds including AustralianSuper, HESTA and CBus. The firm manages more than $90 billion in funds under advice.
