India’s Data Centre Boom Presents a Major Real Asset Investment Opportunity As digital infrastructure expands globally, data centres are becoming an increasingly important part of the real assets investment landscape. However, attitudes towards hosting these facilities vary across markets. At Panel 2, Real Assets – Real Opportunities, @TheAnujPuri , Chairman, @ANAROCK Consultants Ltd, highlighted the contrast between restrictions on data centre development in some parts of the United States and India’s willingness to welcome such investments. “Data centres are becoming essential infrastructure for the digital economy. While some markets are becoming more cautious about hosting them, India has an opportunity to attract investment by creating an enabling environment for digital infrastructure.” Anuj Puri Chairman, Anarock Property Consultants Ltd #CIIWR #CIIAIF2026 #CIIAIF #CIISUMMIT #AIFSummit2026 #AlternativeInvestments #CII #ViksitBharat

Panel 2 | Real Assets: Unlocking Investment Opportunities Across India’s Real Economy India’s infrastructure and real assets sectors offer significant opportunities for long-term investment. Converting this potential into sustainable value requires investable assets, regulatory certainty, effective risk allocation and stronger participation from institutional investors. At the CII Alternative Investment Fund Summit 2026, industry leaders discussed how private and institutional capital can support India’s infrastructure ambitions across roads, renewable energy, commercial real estate and digital infrastructure. The discussion highlighted the importance of developing a clear pipeline of investable projects, improving the monetisation of operating assets and structuring complex infrastructure projects to attract private investment. Panellists also explored the growing opportunities in data centres, the role of real estate in strengthening infrastructure viability, and the need for greater regulatory certainty to attract domestic and global capital. The session was chaired and moderated by Sreekumar Chatra, Managing Director – Infrastructure, EAAA India Alternatives Ltd. The panellists were: * Saurabh Singhal, Managing Director & Co-Head – Infrastructure & Real Assets, Neo Alternative Asset Managers Pvt. Ltd. * @TheAnujPuri , Chairman, @ANAROCK * Sudhakar Mallya, Managing Director – Infrastructure & Sustainable Energies, @cppinvestments . * R. Govindan, Senior Vice President – Corporate Finance & Enterprise Risk Management and Chief Risk Officer, Larsen & Toubro Ltd. * Utkarsh Sinha, Managing Director, @BexleyAdvisors . The key takeaway was that India’s opportunity lies not just in building more infrastructure, but in making assets investment-ready, financially viable and capable of delivering sustainable long-term returns. #CIIWR #CIIAIF2026 #CIIAIF #CIISUMMIT #AIFSummit2026 #AlternativeInvestments #CII #ViksitBharat
