Brookfield eyes tripling India assets to $100 billion in five years
MUMBAI, May 22 (Reuters) - Brookfield Asset Management will triple its India investments to $100 billion within five years, as it bets on the country's strong growth prospects and rising demand in the infrastructure and clean energy sectors, a senior executive said on Thursday.
Brookfield has been doubling down on India investments and has in recent years invested $12 billion in infrastructure assets like gas pipelines, telecom tower assets and data centres; as well as $12 billion in real estate including offices and hotels, and $3 billion in clean energy projects.
The New York-based company, with over $1 trillion of assets under management worldwide, views India as a key beneficiary as companies around the world diversify their supply chains, Brookfield Asset Management's President Connor Teskey said.
"Global corporates are looking to make their supply chains more resilient, they are moving away from a single supplier model to multiple supplier points, India seems to be the beneficiary of all of those trends," Teskey told reporters in Mumbai.
Brookfield will continue to look for opportunities in transport infrastructure, utilities and power generation, especially in renewables, as well as real estate across office, retail, logistics, hospitality and student housing, he added.
This week, Brookfield-owned Schloss Bangalore, an Indian luxury hotel chain operator, announced plans to raise $409 million in a public issue.
Despite new tariffs creating global uncertainties this year, Brookfield has not paused capital deployment, Teskey said, noting the firm's long-term investment horizon.
"The key themes and dynamics that we are investing in today completely overwhelm any short-term uncertainty or headline noise."

Lammy seeks to ‘deepen' UK-India ties on New Delhi visit
David Lammy will seek to deepen UK-India economic ties as he visits New Delhi this weekend, saying Britain's recently agreed trade deal with the country is 'just the start of our ambitions'. Trade and migration will be at the top of the agenda for the Foreign Secretary's trip, during which he will meet Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and external affairs minister S Jaishankar. The Foreign Office said Mr Lammy would also raise 'the recent escalation in tensions following the Pahalgam terrorist attack, and how the welcomed sustained period of peace can be best supported in the interests of stability in the region'. Pakistan and India agreed to a US-brokered ceasefire last month after rising hostilities between the two nuclear-armed rivals followed a deadly attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Kashmir. Ahead of the visit, Mr Lammy said: 'Signing a free trade agreement is just the start of our ambitions – we're building a modern partnership with India for a new global era. 'We want to go even further to foster an even closer relationship and co-operate when it comes to delivering growth, fostering innovative technology, tackling the climate crisis and delivering our migration priorities, and providing greater security for our people.' The Foreign Office said talks in New Delhi would aim to 'deepen and diversify the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between the two countries'. 'The Foreign Secretary will also welcome progress in our migration partnership, including ongoing work on safeguarding citizens and securing borders in both countries,' it said.
