Reliance Infrastructure today said it has received capital market regulator Sebi's clearance to launch an infrastructure investment trust (InvIT).
"The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has granted the certificate of registration...To Reliance Infrastructure InvIT Fund," the Anil Ambani-led company said in a statement.
With a view to help infra developers mop up funds for long-term projects in a more transparent manner, Sebi had in August 2014 introduced InvITs -- an investment vehicle that would enable promoters to monetise completed assets.
