‘Investments for Sustainable, Inclusive, and Responsible Growth’ outlines our approach and progress in harnessing responsible investing to drive meaningful change and create impact. This is the first consolidated ESG report at NIIF level.

It captures the outcomes of direct investments as well as indirect investments through NIIF’s portfolio funds, reflecting our role in mobilising capital, fostering sustainable growth, and driving long-term value creation across our investment platforms.

NIIF has identified six sustainability-focussed themes that define our investment priorities:

• Building a low-carbon future – Supporting India’s energy transition with investments in renewable energy.
• Building resilient infrastructure – Building sustainable transportation solutions and enabling social infrastructure
• Empowering people – Improving employability and inclusiveness through upskilling and job creation as well as building a diverse future and empowering women
• Fostering innovation – Investing in emerging sectors and startups
• Building India’s manufacturing base – Championing research-driven manufacturing excellence and expanding market reach for Indian products
• Investing in circularity solutions – Integrating circular business models to fuel holistic development while managing environmental impact.

Collectively, these themes underscore NIIF’s commitment to integrating sustainability into its investment strategy, fostering long-term value creation while making meaningful contributions to India’s sustainable development goals.
