India Infrastructure Finance Company Ltd plans to increase its investment in Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) to INR 6,000 crore by FY27, doubling its current exposure of around INR 3,000 crore across nine InvITs. The move supports its strategy to diversify infrastructure financing and expand into market-linked instruments. InvITs are gaining traction as a stable investment option for operational assets in sectors like transport, urban infrastructure and clean energy. Backed by strong financial performance, healthy asset quality and a robust project pipeline, the institution aims to strengthen its role in India's infrastructure growth while balancing risk, returns and sector exposure through a diversified portfolio.
India Infrastructure Finance Company Ltd is planning to increase its exposure to Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) to INR 6,000 crore by the end of FY27, as part of its strategy to diversify its investment portfolio and expand participation in infrastructure financing. The state-owned institution currently holds investments of approximately INR 3,000 crore across nine InvITs as of the end of March 2026. Advertisement
Managing Director Rohit Rishi indicated that the institution aims to double this exposure during the ongoing financial year, reflecting a growing focus on capital market-linked infrastructure instruments. InvITs have emerged as a key financing mechanism for operational infrastructure assets, enabling long-term investors to participate in stable, yield-generating projects.
The planned expansion comes amid a broader push to strengthen infrastructure financing in India, where sectors such as transport, urban infrastructure and clean energy are witnessing increased investment activity. The government's policy focus and the availability of a strong pipeline of projects have supported the growth of investment platforms such as InvITs, which are increasingly being used to monetise operational assets and recycle capital.
Officials have highlighted that infrastructure will continue to play a central role in sustaining long-term economic growth and supporting national development objectives. The institution has indicated its intent to align its investment strategy with these priorities by building a diversified portfolio that balances risk, returns and sectoral exposure.
The company's financial position has supported its expansion plans. As of December 2025, it reported a capital adequacy ratio of 21%, with net non-performing assets at 0.3%, indicating stable asset quality. These metrics provide headroom for increased lending and investment activity in infrastructure assets.
The expansion in InvIT exposure follows a period of strong financial performance. For FY25, the institution reported a 39% increase in net profit to INR 2,165 crore, compared to INR 1,552 crore in the previous financial year. It also recorded its highest-ever annual sanctions of INR 51,124 crore and disbursements of INR 28,501 crore during the same period.
Growth momentum has continued into the current financial year, with sanctions reaching INR 53,217 crore and disbursements at INR 25,470 crore as of the end of January 2026. These figures indicate sustained lending activity and continued demand for infrastructure financing.
Established in 2006 and registered as a non-banking financial company under the Reserve Bank of India, the institution provides long-term funding support to infrastructure projects across sectors. Its increasing focus on InvITs reflects a shift towards diversified financing instruments that complement traditional project lending.
The proposed increase in exposure is expected to strengthen the institution's role in supporting infrastructure development, while also enhancing its participation in market-linked investment platforms aligned with evolving sector requirements.
