Infrastructure and InvITs
Infrastructure Investment Trusts (“InvITs“) and infrastructure is a core specialism of the firm. In 2019 alone, members of the team advised some of the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, and leading global financial sponsors on pioneering transactions exceeding USD 5 billion. We provide end-to-end services from fund formation to downstream investments, leveraging our deep understanding of India’s legal, tax, and regulatory landscape.
Our practice has contributed significantly to the evolution of the InvIT regime in India, including policy advocacy and advising on the first unlisted InvIT in the country. Our innovative approach and thought leadership have established us as trusted advisors for global investors navigating the complexities of infrastructure investment in India.
Our unique value proposition lies in our cross-border expertise, holistic transactional advice, and infrastructure-specialized knowledge. Whether acting for sponsors or limited partners (LPs) in special situations, we offer tailored strategies and creative solutions for all stakeholders.
Our InvITs and infrastructure practice includes services such as:
- Setting up tax-optimized structures for investments, including advisory on choice of instrument and jurisdiction.
- Setting up InvITs and rollover of assets to the InvIT in a tax-optimized manner.
- Setting up India-focused infrastructure offshore funds, including end-to-end setup of offshore fund vehicles.
