Through SPVs, it has also executed a portfolio of infrastructure projects like Mumbai's metro railroad project on build, own, operate, and transfer (BOOT) basis; nine road projects on a build, operate and transfer (BOT) basis.

Reliance Infrastructure has made a presence in Delhi's power distribution business. The company said that the promoters will invest Rs 400 crore as a part of this investment, and Varde Investment Partners will invest Rs 150 crore. Following the investment, the public investors will own 70% of the company, promoters will hold 23% of the company, while Varde with 7%.

It has been looking to monetize the company's assets to reduce its debt. It closed the sale of its Delhi-Agra toll road project in January to private equity investor I Squared Capital's Indian roads platform Cube Highways for an enterprise value of Rs 3,600 crore.
