Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 12.35%, 18.42% and 21.16% respectively, and the fund sits in the High Risk category.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that this is a high-conviction equity fund that has rewarded patient investors over longer periods, even though recent performance has been softer. The portfolio is tilted toward power, infrastructure and capital-goods names, so the return path may remain uneven, but the longer-term compounding profile still looks stronger than the benchmark.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/nippon-india-power-and-infra-fund-b-direct-review-2026\/#Quick_facts\" title=\"Quick facts\">Quick facts<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/nippon-india-power-and-infra-fund-b-direct-review-2026\/#Performance\" title=\"Performance\">Performance<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/nippon-india-power-and-infra-fund-b-direct-review-2026\/#Should_you_BUY_or_HOLD_Nippon_India_Power_Infra_FundB-Direct_Plan\" title=\"Should you BUY or HOLD Nippon India Power &#038;

Over 1 month, the fund was slightly negative, but it still held up better than the benchmark. Over 3 months, the fund recovered more strongly than the index, which suggests the recent dip has been less severe than the benchmark\u2019s and that the fund has retained some resilience in a choppy phase.<\/p>\n<p>The bigger contrast appears over 1 year. The fund has generated a positive 12.35% return while the benchmark is negative, so the active portfolio has clearly helped versus the broad market proxy. That gap remains visible over 3 years and 5 years as well, where the fund\u2019s 18.42% and 21.16% returns comfortably exceed the benchmark\u2019s 6.07% and 5.91%.<\/p>\n<p>The time pattern matters here. The fund\u2019s path shows periods of strong compounding interrupted by drawdowns, which is typical for a concentrated thematic equity strategy. In our view, the recent softness does not erase the stronger medium- and long-term pattern, but it does remind investors that returns can move sharply around the trend.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the fund has outperformed the benchmark across every measured period in the table. The recent 1-month weakness is worth noting, yet it sits inside a broader 3-year and 5-year record that is materially stronger than the index.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 10 Sep 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<section class=\"univest-mf-premium-cta\" style=\"margin:28px 0;padding:24px;border-radius:10px;border:1px solid #d8e3f0;background:#f7faff\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_you_BUY_or_HOLD_Nippon_India_Power_Infra_FundB-Direct_Plan\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Nippon India Power &#038; Infra Fund(B)-Direct Plan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A fund&#8217;s past returns alone don&#8217;t tell you whether you should buy it today or continue holding it.<\/p>\n<p>The right decision depends on factors such as your current allocation, purchase price, risk profile, investment horizon and the role this fund plays in your overall portfolio.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Already holding Nippon India Power &#038; Infra Fund(B)-Direct Plan?

The fall from the first holding to the tenth is steady rather than abrupt, which points to a measured spread across several large names instead of an extremely top-heavy structure.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, the top 10 holdings still make up 37.35% of the disclosed portfolio, and the fund has 65 disclosed holding rows in total. That combination suggests a portfolio with a visible core and a relatively long tail, so the biggest positions are likely to matter, but they do not appear to control the entire outcome by themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Several of the largest holdings sit in power, infrastructure and capital-goods themes, which fits the scheme\u2019s mandate and may help explain why the fund can behave differently from a broad-market benchmark. The portfolio therefore looks focused, but not narrowly concentrated in just one or two shares.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 10 Sep 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_should_invest\"><\/span>Who should invest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This fund suits investors who can tolerate High Risk and are comfortable with a portfolio that may move around more than the benchmark in shorter periods.

The main trade-off is that the fund\u2019s thematic exposure can create uneven near-term performance, but that same exposure has also helped it stay ahead of the benchmark over the longer sample we can see.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tax_and_exit_load\"><\/span>Tax and exit load<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Holding period<\/th>\n<th>Tax rate<\/th>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Units held less than 1 year<\/td>\n<td>20%<\/td>\n<td>Short-term capital gains tax<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Units held more than 1 year<\/td>\n<td>12.5%<\/td>\n<td>Long-term capital gains tax<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Exit load: 1% if units are sold within 1 month; nil after 1 month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 10 Sep 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>What is the current NAV of Nippon India Power &amp; Infra Fund(B)-Direct Plan?<\/strong><br \/>Its current NAV is \u20b9414.5279 as of 10 Sep 2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the fund\u2019s 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns?<\/strong><br \/>Its 1-year return is 12.35%, its 3-year return is 18.42%, and its 5-year return is 21.16%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How has it performed against the benchmark?<\/strong><br \/>It has beaten the benchmark across 1 month, 3 months, 1 year, 3 years and 5 years.
