new delhi: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has asked the National Investment and Infrastructure Fund to explore new opportunities under National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), PM GatiShakti and National Infrastructure Corridor. It also includes greenfield and brownfield investment projects.
NIIF, India's quasi-sovereign wealth fund, has developed into an internationally credible and commercially viable investment platform, backed by several highly respected global and domestic investors who have invested alongside the central government in NIIF Funds, it said. NIIF's first bilateral fund (an 'India Japan Fund' with contribution from the government) has been proposed through an MoU between National Investment and Infrastructure Fund Limited (NIIFL) and Japan Bank for International Development (JBIC).
The MoU was signed recently on November 9, and this significant update regarding bilateral engagements of NIIF was endorsed by the GC, it said. The GC also guided NIIF to undertake advisory activities pro-actively to support central and state governments to create a pipeline of investible Public-Private Partnershi projects, it said.
