What is the story about?
The National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development (NaBFID) has launched the Institute for Infrastructure Development (IID), a dedicated centre aimed at capacity building, skill development and knowledge sharing across India's infrastructure financing ecosystem.
The institute was inaugurated in Mumbai by Monisha Chakraborty, Chief General Manager-in-Charge, Department of Supervision at the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), in the presence of senior officials from NaBFID.
According to NaBFID, the institute has been established to address challenges related to credit flow in the infrastructure sector by creating a structured platform for specialised training, technical capability enhancement and the adoption of standardised best practices among stakeholders involved in infrastructure financing.
The institute's establishment was led by Sanjev Vaid, Chief Human Resources Officer at NaBFID.
As part of its initial activities, IID has partnered with the National Institute of Bank Management (NIBM) to launch a week-long programme on project and infrastructure finance.
The course covers areas such as entity appraisal, financial viability assessment, environmental considerations, sector-specific financial appraisal and post-disbursement monitoring. The inaugural programme was attended by 47 professionals from banks and infrastructure financing institutions.
NaBFID said the institute plans to introduce specialised courses for state authorities and urban local bodies in the future. These programmes will focus on project report preparation, financial structuring, regulatory compliance and investor engagement.
Rajkiran Rai G, Managing Director of NaBFID, said the institute is intended to serve as a platform for knowledge and skill development to support infrastructure financing and strengthen sectoral capabilities. He added that the organisation aims to develop IID into a centre of excellence for capacity building and thought leadership in the infrastructure sector.
Speaking at the launch, Chakraborty said infrastructure financing remains an important component of India's development agenda and noted that the institute could facilitate collaboration among financial institutions, academia and industry participants while promoting learning and the sharing of best practices.
NaBFID was established in April 2021 as a development financial institution focused on supporting long-term infrastructure financing and helping deepen markets for infrastructure-related bonds, loans and derivatives.
