Giving further push to the infra sector, the governing council of National Investment and Infrastructure Fund chaired by finance minister Arun Jaitley, reviewed progress of operationalising India’s maiden sovereign wealth fund NIIF, and discussed investment proposals and project pipeline in a bid to speed up development of the infrastructure sector.

At its second meeting, the Council reviewed overseas long term investors, sovereign wealth funds, pension funds’ interest in investing in the NIIF. They also discussed the guidelines for investment of the corpus of NIIF, including the investment policy. Public sector companies are also expected to invest in the initial corpus of the Fund. The Governing Council was apprised of the interactions that have been held with a large number of long-term investors, Sovereign Wealth Funds, Pension Funds from across the globe, seeking to invest in the NIIF.
