Mumbai, 3rd June 2026: Following the first close of the Kotak Yield & Growth Fund in February 2026, Kotak Alts has commenced deployment with its first investment in the highway sector.
The investment provides last-mile financing for two near-completion road projects being developed under the NHAI Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM), in line with Kotak Alts’ focus on cash flow-backed real asset opportunities with clear execution visibility.
Kotak Alts has extended a secured structured credit facility of INR 360 crore to Vishwa Samudra Group, a diversified infrastructure platform, to support the group’s funding requirements for its road HAM projects and provide bridge capital for timely execution.
The transaction reflects continued interest in high-quality infrastructure-linked opportunities backed by experienced execution capabilities and long-term visibility. Vishwa Samudra Group also has a presence across sectors such as ports, harbours, bridges, and urban ropeways.
Amit Jain, CEO, Kotak Yield & Growth Fund, said “We are pleased to support Vishwa Samudra Group through this structured credit transaction. The investment is aligned with our focus on NHAI-backed annuity assets sponsored by groups with demonstrated infrastructure execution capabilities. We continue to see demand for flexible credit solutions from high-quality businesses across infrastructure and allied sectors.”
- Sasidhar, Chairman, Vishwa Samudra Group, said “This facility supports timely capital deployment across our road HAM assets and adds flexibility to our funding plans. As we continue to scale our portfolio, we remain focused on prudent capital allocation and sustainable long-term growth. We appreciate the confidence placed in us by KAAML.”
