Infrastructure and project finance — Business MegaBrands 2026–27

Infrastructure and project finance institutions lend long-term money for power generation and transmission, renewable energy, railways, roads, urban development and housing projects. The lenders in this category are largely government-owned specialists that raise funds through bonds. They channel savings into assets that take years to build, and fill a funding gap that commercial banks cannot easily cover alone.
