About Us

We have been an integral part of the country’s development story since 1997, when our company was formed with the specific mandate to build the nation.

Since 2005, we have built on our vision to be the ‘one firm’ that looks after the diverse needs of infrastructure development. Whether it is financial intermediation for infrastructure projects and services, adding value through innovative products to the infrastructure value chain or asset maintenance of existing infrastructure projects, we focus on supporting companies to get the best return on investments.

Our growth has been driven by the substantial investment requirements of the infrastructure sector in India combined with the growth in the Indian economy over the last several years. Our ability to tap global as well as Indian financial resources makes us the acknowledged experts in infrastructure finance. This, coupled with a strong synergy between the company management and key shareholders, and a dedicated team of over 550 people makes us an organization that is committed to improving the face of India’s infrastructure sector.

At IDFC, our commitment to building India’s infrastructure goes beyond business. We work closely with government entities and regulators to advise and assist them in formulating policy and regulatory frameworks that support private investment and public-private partnerships in infrastructure development.
