India’s National Investment & Infrastructure Fund (NIIF) is reportedly in talks to raise INR 20bn ($244m) for an infrastructure investment trust, which will include assets from Athaang Infrastructure. The fund intends to complete its private placement in September. As we previously reported, NIIF aims to develop a capital-raising structure to tackle a shortfall in infrastructure spending in India. The development of an infrastructure investment trust (InvIT) could help make up the shortfall in investment. The vehicle is like a mutual fund and pools assets for financing projects, and would allow investors to receive income from the projects. Investors include Singapore’s Temasek Holdings Pte and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.
