Sundaram Alternates looks to raise Rs 1,000 cr from global investors

Sundaram Alternates Assets (SAA), the private equity arm of Sundaram Finance Group, plans to raise about Rs 1,000 crore from global investors to fund green real estate projects in India. "This move reflects our commitment to build on our own track record, depth of underwriting and risk management skills in the ever-evolving landscape of Indian real estate credit market," Sundaram Alternates Assets managing director Vikaas M Sachdeva told PTI here. In the past year, SAA has not only re-engineered its high-yield credit funds to generate real alpha from its performing credit business but has also adopted a robust ESG and climate impact framework as a significant investor initiative, he said. The firm is currently in the process of raising money from global investors including NRIs in the Gulf region through its Series IV real estate credit fund. "We are expecting to close the fund (Series IV real estate credit fund) at between Rs 1,000-1,200 crore to fund green real estate projects,"
