Kotak Realty Fund backs KVN Properties with Rs 1,000 crore bet on residential growth
Synopsis Kotak Investment Advisors, via its Kotak Realty Fund, is set to invest ₹1,000 crore in KVN Properties, a land aggregation platform. The investment, structured in two tranches, will fuel KVN's expansion plans across major metros, aiming for 10 million sq. ft. of development potential by FY26. Kotak Investment Advisors, through its Kotak Realty Fund, plans to invest Rs 1,000 crore in KVN Properties, an institutionally-backed land aggregation platform, said people familiar with the deal is structured in two tranches of Rs 600 crore and Rs 400 crore through debentures with the option of converting into equity at a later stage, the people said.'The documentation is in advanced stages and the closure is expected by the end of this month,' said one of the persons cited KVN, led by real estate veteran Venkat K. Narayana, the latest infusion provides the growth capital required to rapidly expand its land portfolio across major metros. The company has set a target of making land parcels with a development potential of 10 million sq. ft. available by FY26 and building a strong residential pipeline for FY27 and FY28 in the major metros. 'These parcels will be monetised through joint development agreements or joint ventures with leading developers, creating a supply chain of development-ready land for a market where speed of execution and delivery have become decisive factors,' said the person cited above. A second person said the Kotak commitment is more than a financial transaction. 'It is a validation of the land aggregation model, which is increasingly becoming central to the future of residential development in India. This deal signals that institutional investors are ready to back platforms that bring scale and governance to a fragmented part of the real estate ecosystem,' this person and KVN Properties declined to comment on the has faced early traction in its partnership-led approach. It recently finalised a joint venture with the Puravankara Group to develop a 24.59-acre land parcel in North Bengaluru, as well as a development management agreement with Assetz Group for a 5.67-acre parcel in the same micro-market. Together, these projects represent a potential saleable area of 4.48 million sq. ft. and a projected gross development value of over Rs 4,300 crore. Both developments are expected to be launched by this fiscal year-end, benefiting from strong housing demand in Bengaluru and its expanding connectivity to key employment experts believe that platforms like KVN are well-positioned to capitalise on this momentum by acting as strategic enablers for developers.'Developers today need speed and certainty. A trusted partner that can systematically acquire and aggregate land parcels, and deliver them in development-ready form, removes a critical bottleneck and reduces execution risk,' said a senior real estate advisor, requesting potential investment in KVN tracks with a buoyant phase for the residential real estate market. According to Colliers, private equity investments in the residential sector reached $1.5 billion in the first half of 2025, nearly doubling from the same period last year. This surge has been supported by rising income levels, favourable demographics, and connectivity improvements driven by infrastructure expansion. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, more than 65,000 housing units were launched across India, with Mumbai, Pune, and Bengaluru together accounting for 64% of the new supply. Sales momentum was equally robust, with Mumbai, Pune, and Delhi-NCR making up 62% of transactions during the period.'With housing demand surging and land aggregation emerging as the missing link, this deal allows Kotak to position itself early in a segment that will define the next decade,' said a person aware of the fund's Kotak, the investment into KVN adds to a growing roster of high-profile real estate bets. Since its inception in 2005, Kotak Realty Fund has raised more than $3.5 billion across multiple vehicles spanning residential, office, retail, hospitality, and warehousing.

Elan Group also raised Rs 1,200 crore from Kotak Real Estate Fund in 2024.

Turkey Investigates 66 Power Firms Over Failure to Follow Grid Orders
(Bloomberg) -- Turkey opened an investigation into dozens of power producers which it alleges failed to adjust their output to balance supply and demand, underlining one of the main challenges as intermittent renewables get a larger share of electricity markets. The country's Energy Market Regulatory Authority wrote to 66 companies in recent weeks to demand explanations about why, according to the watchdog, orders to adjust power output between 2020 and 2024 weren't obeyed, according to people familiar with the matter and a letter seen by Bloomberg. The Turkish Energy Ministry declined to comment. Keeping grids perfectly balanced at all times is one of the most challenging aspects of the energy transition because production of solar and wind power can soar or plunge within minutes. Spain's blackout in April highlighted the need for more resilient networks across the continent, according to a report by a group of European grid operators. The affected companies in Turkey include mainly gas and hydropower generators, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. EPDK's letter said that the investigation could result in penalties, administrative fines and ultimately the cancellation of licenses. The regulator cited an 'increasing rate of non-compliance with instructions' among power plants. It said that failure to comply increases the cost of balancing for state-owned grid operator Turkiye Elektrik Iletim A.S. The warning echoed a similar reproach by French authorities to producers in France in April. Turkey's Association of Electricity Producers said in a letter to EPDK this month and seen by Bloomberg that orders to curtail or ramp up production are often unfeasible because they don't take into account technical details like the time it takes to start or stop a facility. --With assistance from Firat Kozok.

India profiteering from Russian crude: US Treasury Secretary renews attack
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has once again taken aim at India's Russian oil purchases, accusing New Delhi of profiteering at the cost of the West's sanctions regime. In an interview with CNBC, Bessent described India's practice of buying discounted crude from Moscow and reselling refined products as an 'unacceptable' arbitrage - the latest in a string of remarks where Washington has singled out India for its energy trade with Indian arbitrage — buying cheap Russian oil, reselling it as product - has just sprung during the war, which is unacceptable,' Bessent told CNBC's Squawk Box. 'They are just profiteering. They are reselling.' The sharp criticism comes even as India has consistently defended its energy trade as a matter of national interest, arguing that affordable Russian oil has been vital for meeting its growing energy needs and shielding consumers from global price IN WASHINGTON'S CROSSHAIRSThis is not the first time the Treasury Secretary has taken aim at India over its Russian oil purchases. In an interview with Bloomberg TV last week, Bessent had warned that the US could impose further secondary tariffs on India if President Donald Trump's talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska failed to yield results.'We've put secondary tariffs on Indians for buying Russian oil. And I could see, if things don't go well, then sanctions or secondary tariffs could go up,' Bessent had said a day before the August also pressed America's European allies to match US penalties. In an interview with Fox News, Bessent accused Europe of hypocrisy, pointing out that European nations were still buying refined products from Indian refineries processing Russian crude. 'It is time for our European counterparts to put up or shut up,' he said. 'If we want a unified front, President Trump needs maximum leverage, and that means Europe doing its part.'TRUMP'S TARIFF THREAT AND INDIA'S RESPONSEPresident Trump has already announced an additional 25 per cent duty on Indian exports to the US, on top of the earlier 25 per cent levy, effectively doubling tariffs to 50 per cent. He has threatened more penalties, specifically targeting Russian oil buyers like the measures, Trump argued earlier this month that the tariffs were instrumental in pressuring Moscow into talks. 'When you lose your second-largest customer [India] and you're probably going to lose your first largest customer, I think that probably has a role,' he however, has strongly rejected the US position, calling the tariffs 'unfair, unjustified, and unreasonable,' while maintaining that its energy imports are a matter of national security and economic DOUBLE STANDARDSadvertisementWhile Washington has aggressively penalised India, it has stopped short of imposing similar measures on China - despite Beijing continuing to import large volumes of Russian crude. When asked about the difference, Bessent argued that China had been a major buyer even before the Ukraine war, implying its case was less uneven approach has sparked accusations of double standards. Critics say New Delhi is being punished while Beijing escapes secondary sanctions, despite US officials - including Secretary of State Marco Rubio - openly acknowledging that India's Russian oil purchases remain a 'point of irritation' in ties with RUSSIAN OIL BETIndia turned to discounted Russian crude after Western sanctions were imposed on Moscow in 2022. With a price cap of USD 60 per barrel, the purchases have dramatically reshaped India's energy share in India's crude imports has soared from just 1.7 per cent in FY20 to over 35 per cent in FY25, according to official trade data. Out of 245 million metric tonnes of oil imported last fiscal year, 88 MMT came from Russia alone, making it India's largest Delhi has repeatedly defended its stance, arguing that affordable Russian oil has helped it cushion domestic inflation, meet rising energy needs, and sustain economic growth at a time of global ROAD AHEADDespite Bessent's sharp words, it remains unclear whether Washington will immediately escalate its penalties. After his Alaska summit with Putin, Trump hinted that secondary sanctions could be delayed for 'two or three weeks,' noting they would be 'devastating' if imposed right now, however, India finds itself squarely in Washington's the meantime, the next round of negotiations for the proposed India-US bilateral trade agreement (BTA) is expected to be delayed, with a visiting American delegation likely to defer its scheduled trip to New Delhi later this month, as per a report by news agency PTI.- EndsTune In
