AustralianSuper Invests AU$500 Million More in NIIF, Boosts India Exposure to AU$3.3 Billion.
Australian pension fund AustralianSuper has announced an additional AU$500 million investment in India’s National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF), increasing its total exposure to India across all asset classes to AU$3.3 billion. The announcement coincides with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s official visit to Australia, aimed at strengthening bilateral economic ties. AustralianSuper’s first investment of AU$240 million in NIIF in 2019 has emerged as one of its best-performing infrastructure investments, prompting the renewed commitment. NIIF, India’s sovereign-anchored investment platform, manages approximately ₹40,000 crore in capital commitments, with the Government of India holding a 49% stake. Speaking in Melbourne, Prime Minister Modi highlighted India’s strong economic growth, policy reforms, digital transformation, and expanding investment opportunities across infrastructure, clean energy, logistics, manufacturing, AI, fintech, and urban development. The latest investment reflects growing international confidence in India’s long-term infrastructure and economic growth story.
