Bullish on India, Actis to Invest Up to $2.5 Billion in Energy Infrastructure

Emerging markets investor Actis has announced its plan to invest up to $2.5 billion in India over the next four years. The investment will be directed towards sustainable infrastructure projects, including energy transition, digital infrastructure, and logistics and warehousing sectors. Actis has a successful track record in infrastructure investments with its previous ventures in India’s renewable energy sector. Actis Chairman and Senior Partner Torbjorn Caesar stated that the infrastructure investment globally is expected to grow three to four times in size over the next ten years, making it a massive opportunity. Caesar believes that India is currently one of the best places to invest in infrastructure, citing its attractive opportunities and the reforms implemented by the Indian government. Actis considers India’s energy sector to be a significant focus area for investment, particularly in renewable energy projects such as utility-scale power plants. Actis is also looking at opportunities in transmission and distribution, as well as the commercial and industrial segment of the renewable energy sector. In addition, Actis is interested in investing in data centers and industrial warehousing. The firm is winding down its existing private equity portfolio to focus on sustainable infrastructure investing. Actis aims to deliver returns and value to its private equity investors while transitioning into its new investment focus.
