NIIF

The National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF) is India's quasi-sovereign wealth fund established in 2015 by the Government of India to catalyse infrastructure investment. It mobilises domestic and global capital into infrastructure, green energy, and development-critical sectors, acting as a bridge between public policy objectives and institutional investors seeking risk-adjusted returns.

NIIF's mission is to maximise economic impact by investing in infrastructure and allied sectors. Its climate focus includes renewable energy, green mobility, sustainable infrastructure, and energy transition assets, aligning India's infrastructure buildout with low-carbon development pathways.

Headquartered in New Delhi, NIIF operates exclusively within India and selectively across emerging markets. It deploys capital through fund structures attracting sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, and multilateral institutions. Its India focus spans renewable energy, roads, ports, urban infrastructure, and climate-aligned mid-market businesses requiring patient, long-tenure capital.
