NIIF's mission is to catalyze capital into the country and support its growth needs across sectors of importance, contributing to the development of world-class infrastructure in India. The Government of India anchors the NIIF funds with a 49% commitment, while the remaining 51% is sourced from large global institutional investors such as the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), Temasek, Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, and AustralianSuper, as well as domestic financial institutions like HDFC, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Axis Bank, and ICICI Bank. NIIF's investments span various sectors, including infrastructure, real estate, renewable energy, digital infrastructure, transportation, logistics, energy, water, industry, health, education, communication and digital infrastructure, municipal projects, and energy transition. The fund's strategic focus is on sustainable value creation through Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, investing in businesses and assets that generate positive social and environmental impact while delivering superior financial returns. NIIF's portfolio includes significant investments in sectors critical to India's economic growth and development, such as transportation, energy, and digital infrastructure. The fund's approach emphasizes long-term value creation, leveraging its association with the Government of India to attract both domestic and international investors seeking opportunities in India's infrastructure sector.
