The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) has subscribed to INR13,012.5 million (about USD150 million) of non-convertible debentures issued by Aditya Birla Capital Limited, one of India’s leading diversified financial services companies. The three-year, privately placed investment aims to accelerate financing for India’s renewable energy and e-mobility sectors, supporting the country’s transition toward a sustainable infrastructure ecosystem.
AIIB’s financing will support lending activities in the following sectors:
