In a boost for the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI)'s much-awaited infrastructure investment trust (InvIT), top Canadian funds and Indian insurers are said to have lined up to invest big sums in it, reports Economic Times.
The Rs 5,100 crore InvIT is expected to begin subscriptions next month, and multiple Canadian funds could likely lap up as much as half of the InvIT's corpus on offer. The Canadian funds in the fray for this include Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) and the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan (OTTP).
It should be noted though that India’s biggest superannuation funds manager, the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), is also said to have been approached for investment into the InvIT’s units.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
