03 Jul 2025 CW Team

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) has subscribed to non convertible debentures worth roughly Rs 13.0 billion issued by Aditya Birla Capital Ltd (ABCL). The privately placed, three year issue will finance lending to renewable energy and electric mobility projects across India.

Proceeds will support solar, wind, geothermal, pumped storage and hydrogen generation schemes, as well as energy storage systems. Funds will also back the wider e mobility ecosystem, covering electric vehicle manufacture, battery production and charging infrastructure.

As part of the transaction, AIIB worked with ABCL to upgrade its Environmental and Social Management System so that sub projects meet AIIB’s governance standards. “This investment shows how we leverage strong financial institutions to deliver sustainable infrastructure,” said Gregory Liu, AIIB’s Director General for Financial Institutions and Funds Clients.

ABCL Managing Director Vishakha Mulye said the partnership strengthens the firm’s ESG framework and will create long term value for stakeholders.

The deal aligns with India’s Paris Agreement commitments and government programmes such as the National Infrastructure Pipeline and expanded renewable energy targets.

ABCL, which belongs to the Aditya Birla Group, manages assets of about Rs 5,110 billion and supports the conglomerate’s strategy to build climate friendly financial solutions.
