Mumbai, Mar 12: Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) have become a major pillar of India’s capital markets, with total commitments touching approximately Rs 15.7 trillion as of December 2025, SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey said on Thursday.

Addressing the IVCA Conclave 2026 in Mumbai, Pandey highlighted that AIFs are increasingly channelising finance into priority sectors including renewables, energy storage, logistics, and strategic manufacturing, especially against the backdrop of global geopolitical uncertainties.

He further stated that India currently hosts over 1,700 registered AIFs, collectively investing around Rs 6.45 trillion, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of nearly 30% over the past five years, underscoring the sector’s rapid growth and evolving importance in India’s financial ecosystem.

This robust growth signals that AIFs are no longer niche investment vehicles but strategic drivers of India’s infrastructure and industrial ambitions.
