British International Investment is providing a $75 million mezzanine debt facility to Blueleaf Energy, which is being partially syndicated to the Emerging Africa & Asia Infrastructure Fund. The Emerging Africa & Asia Infrastructure Fund will also acquire a 50 % equity stake in Blueleaf Energy, enabling the developer to pursue an 850 MW renewable energy expansion in India. The project, targeting 850 MW of capacity, is slated for development across multiple sites in India, with construction expected to begin later in 2026. British International Investment and the Emerging Africa & Asia Infrastructure Fund expect the capital to catalyze additional institutional investment in India's renewable sector. The mezzanine loan, structured as a syndicated facility, reflects a growing trend of development finance institutions supporting large‑scale solar projects in emerging markets.
