Under Construction: India’s Infrastructure Debt Funds—Their Importance, Challenges, and Opportunities
Lambert, Don | September 2014
Abstract
In February 2011, India’s Minister of Finance announced in the Union Budget a new investment vehicle to fund the infrastructure sector—infrastructure debt funds. Later that year, the Reserve Bank of India and the Securities and Exchange Board of India promulgated IDF regulations. In 2012 and into 2013, a flurry of financial institutions applied and received approvals to establish IDFs. Yet, despite all of this activity, IDFs are yet to achieve their potential.
