New Delhi, April 15 -- India Infrastructure Finance Company Limited (IIFCL), in collaboration with Swiss Re and the Embassy of Switzerland to India and Bhutan, hosted a closed-door roundtable on strengthening risk resilience in India's infrastructure sector.
Held at the India Habitat Centre, the roundtable brought together senior representatives from government, financial institutions, insurers, developers and multilateral agencies, including the World Bank. Discussions focused on integrating insurance and reinsurance solutions into infrastructure financing to address rising climate and operational risks.
Setting the context, IIFCL Deputy Managing Director Palash Srivastava highlighted the increasing scale of infrastructure investments alongside growing exposure to climate-related and systemic risks. He stressed the need to embed risk transfer mechanisms early in project structuring to improve resilience and credit quality.
The roundtable featured two sessions examining risk hotspots, protection gaps and strategies for mobilising insurance and pension capital, as well as pathways for enhancing project bankability through risk de-risking.
The deliberations concluded with key insights on identifying priority risk areas, developing scalable solutions and strengthening collaboration among stakeholders to support resilient infrastructure growth.
