Piramal Enterprises Ltd, controlled by billionaire Ajay Piramal, plans to invest ₹ 10,000 crore from its structured finance group in infrastructure and other sectors over the next few years, said a senior executive.
This includes $1 billion in the joint venture of Piramal Enterprises and Dutch pension fund asset manager APG Asset Management NV, announced in July 2014.
They also said that they are focusing on mezzanine and structured deals in the infrastructure space right now and if road deals come their way then they will look at it, but they are not chasing those deals.
Deals in the infrastructure space could range between ₹ 500 crore to ₹ 1,000 crore, although they could be larger than that if required.
In March, Piramal Enterprises closed a ₹ 900 crore structured finance deal with the GMR Group, the first deal from the company’s joint platform with APG Asset Management NV. In April 2013, Piramal Enterprises invested ₹ 425 crore in Hyderabad-based Navayuga Road Projects Pvt. Ltd and ₹ 500 crore in Green Infra Ltd, a renewable energy firm promoted by private equity fund IDFC Alternatives Ltd.
Analyst questions
- What is your investment philosophy?
- Why are there no media interviews from directors of the Infrastructure fund on investment strategy or the fund?
- You mentioned shifting to mezzanine and structured deals. Are there any specific reasons why you are shifting from investing in road deals?
