The Premier of Australian state of New South Wales (NSW), Gladys Berejiklian, on Tuesday said she will facilitate investments from pensions funds and other long term investors into Indian infrastructure sector.
“We have been told about the huge infrastructure needs in India and I will look at how our pensions funds and other long term investors who are looking for good returns can participate in it,” she told reporters here. She, however, did not quantify the amount of investment which can be seen coming into the country.
Berejiklian added that she knows about the interest shown by similar investors from Canada in Indian projects across asset classes and affirmed that funds from her state will try to emulate the same. The Premier, who is on a four-day visit to the country, met Mahindra Group’s Anand Mahindra, Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis and representatives from Jet Airways and the Hinduja Group on Tuesday.
