Folks Funds Proposes ‘The Blue IP’ to Bolster India’s Industrial and Logistics Ecosystem
New Delhi, June 10, 2026: Folks Funds, a SEBI-registered Category II Alternative Investment Fund, has unveiled plans to develop “The Blue IP,” a proposed industrial infrastructure platform designed to align with the objectives of the Government of India’s BHAVYA Scheme. This ambitious initiative is envisioned to catalyze India’s next phase of manufacturing-led growth by integrating 100 plug-and-play industrial infrastructure units, EV supply chains, advanced manufacturing hubs, warehousing, logistics, clean mobility solutions, energy transition projects, and export-oriented industrial ecosystems, Folks Funds said in a press release.
As India continues to solidify its status as a premier global manufacturing and supply-chain destination, The Blue IP is being structured as a scalable infrastructure platform. The initiative aims to bridge the critical gap between institutional capital, industrial capacity, manufacturing ecosystems, and market access. By providing integrated industrial infrastructure and long-term capital support, the proposal seeks to empower a diverse range of stakeholders, including manufacturers, MSMEs, component suppliers, mobility companies, infrastructure developers, and technology-led enterprises.
The project is currently in the concept, feasibility, and stakeholder engagement stage, with Folks Funds actively evaluating a phased development model and assessing potential locations. The BHAVYA Scheme serves as a vital policy catalyst for this effort, driving a shift toward planned industrial parks, plug-and-play facilities, and enhanced logistics integration. Folks Funds views this as a strategic opportunity to foster an industrial ecosystem that contributes significantly to domestic value addition, supply-chain localization, clean mobility adoption, employment generation, and overall global competitiveness.
Commenting on the development, Nikhil Anand Khurana, Chief Investment Officer at Folks Funds, said, “We thank our Hon’ble Minister, Shri Piyush Goyal for driving initiatives like BHAVYA that are strengthening India’s industrial competitiveness. The Blue IP seeks to complement this vision by creating integrated ecosystems for manufacturing, logistics, EV supply chains and exports.”
He further emphasized the broader potential for the Indian market, adding, “Folks Funds believes India has a strong opportunity to emerge as a global hub for EV components, advanced manufacturing and future-ready industrial infrastructure. With global companies seeking diversified and resilient supply chains, platforms such as The Blue IP can play an important role in connecting capital with real-economy infrastructure.”
The proposed development of The Blue IP reflects the broader investment thesis of Folks Funds, which focuses on high-impact sectors including energy transition, industrial infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, clean mobility, logistics, deep-tech, and ESG-led opportunities.
