Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC) has conducted investor roadshows in Taipei and Hong Kong as part of its strategy to diversify funding sources and strengthen access to international capital for infrastructure financing.
The two-day External Commercial Borrowing (ECB) roadshow was held on March 10 in Taipei and March 11 in Hong Kong, where senior IRFC officials met potential lenders and institutional investors across the Asia-Pacific region. The initiative focused on expanding the corporation’s global lender base and securing long-term financing for infrastructure development.
During the meetings, IRFC highlighted its evolving strategy to support projects linked to the broader railway ecosystem, including infrastructure with forward and backward linkages to the rail network. The corporation has been expanding its financing scope beyond traditional railway assets to include areas such as dedicated freight corridors, metro rail systems and port-related infrastructure.
Officials also presented IRFC’s financial strengths, including strong sovereign backing, a consistent operational track record and a nil non-performing asset status, which position the company as a reliable financing partner for large infrastructure projects.
The investor outreach programme is expected to strengthen IRFC’s presence among global investors while helping the organisation secure diversified and cost-effective funding lines to support India’s expanding infrastructure and railway development plans.
