A statement from Abu Dhabi-based ALTERRA, the world's largest private investment vehicle for climate finance with total investments so far of over $6.5 billion, said the investment will support the development and construction of up to 11 GW of solar, wind and battery storage projects in Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh.
ALTERRA has made the investment through the ALTÉRRA Acceleration Fund, and it is the company's first direct investment into the Global South.
Majid Al Suwaidi, chief executive officer of ALTÉRRA, said in the statement: 'ALTÉRRA's investment in Evren is a powerful demonstration of our mission in action—catalyzing capital into tangible, scalable, and economically compelling climate initiatives. By deploying capital into India's fast-growing economy, we are supporting reliable and affordable energy generation and unlocking investable opportunities.'
Launched at the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) in the UAE, with a $30-billion commitment from the UAE, ALTÉRRA aims to build innovative partnerships to mobilize $250 billion globally by 2030 to finance the new climate economy and accelerate climate transition.
Connor Teskey, president of Brookfield Asset Management said in a statement: 'By combining Evren's robust development pipeline and Brookfield's extensive operational expertise, we are not only supporting India's ambitious renewable energy targets but also fostering economic growth and energy security. The partnership with ALTÉRRA exemplifies our strategy of deploying smart, high-impact capital to drive transformative energy projects worldwide."
Evren, a renewable energy platform backed by Brookfield's Global Transition Fund II (BGTF II), recently signed a power purchase agreement with state-run NTPC Ltd for the supply of 300 MW of green power.
ALTERRA is BGTF II's largest third-party investor, following a $2-billion commitment made during COP28 to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Brookfield Asset Management Ltd is a global alternative asset manager, headquartered in New York, with over $1 trillion of assets under management across renewable power and transition, infrastructure, private equity, real estate, and credit.
Renewable energy investments have grown in the past few years in India, in line with the government's ambitious target to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil power capacity by 2030. Currently, India has 269.82 GW of installed non-fossil capacity, per data from Central Electricity Authority (CEA).
According to ratings agency Crisil, India will see a fivefold growth in green investments to ₹ 31 trillion between 2025 and 2030.

Air Arabia announces new low-cost airline, plans a 45-aircraft fleet by 2030. Check details
United Arab Emirates (UAE)- based airline company Air Arabia announced on Sunday, 20 July 2025, that it has received approval from Saudi Arabia to establish a new low-cost carrier, according to an official social media post. The company also disclosed that the new low-cost carrier will be based in Dammam, a major city in the eastern region of Saudi Arabia. 'We're proud to announce that Air Arabia has been awarded to establish a new low-cost airline based in Dammam by Saudi Arabia's @ksagaca. We thank #GACA for their trust and support. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new venture!' said the company in a social media post on platform X. A low-cost carrier is a stripped-down version of a traditional full-service airline. The service provider does not include additional services in the ticket fare, resulting in cheap flight booking rates. This business model is used in the aviation sector around the world, helping airlines connect people from one city to another at an affordable rate. A low-cost carrier usually has stricter baggage policies, and food and drinks are not complimentary or included in the ticket price. If a passenger wants to opt for one or more services, this extra service comes at an added cost. The local news portal Gulf News reported that Air Arabia plans to launch a 45-aircraft fleet by the year 2030. The report also cited the Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation, which stated that the UAE-based carrier was among an alliance of three other companies that won the bid to operate the new low-cost airline. Media reports suggest that the new low-cost carrier will operate both domestic and international flights to and from the King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The flight operator aims to cater to 24 domestic routes and 57 international routes and transport 10 million passengers every year. The local news portal also reported that the launch of the low-cost airline is expected to create more than 2,400 direct job opportunities and raise the service quality across the Saudi Arabian aviation market.
