Macquarie Asset Management (MAM), via Macquarie Asia-Pacific Infrastructure Fund 4 (MAIF4 or the Fund), announces that it has completed the acquisition of units from global investment group La Caisse in Maple Infrastructure Trust (Maple), an Infrastructure Investment Trust (InvIT) that owns and operates toll roads across India.
Following completion of the transaction, MAM and La Caisse jointly own controlling stakes in Maples investment manager and project manager. The partnership combines MAMs infrastructure investment and active asset management experience in India with La Caisses experience in developing, scaling and managing infrastructure platforms globally.
As part of the transaction, MAIF4 has committed $US450 million, which includes $US150 million of additional equity earmarked for future acquisitions by Maple. La Caisse has also committed $US150 million to support future growth.
Established in 2021, Maple owns and operates seven toll roads across six states in Eastern, Northern and Southern India through long-term concession frameworks. The road network has an aggregate length of approximately 3,328 lane kilometres.
Verena Lim, Co-Head of Asia-Pacific Infrastructure for Macquarie Asset Management and Asia CEO for Macquarie Group, said: India remains a key market for Macquarie, and Maple reflects our conviction in the countrys long-term infrastructure opportunity. Drawing on our experienced local team and long-standing presence in the market and sector, we look forward to partnering with La Caisse to support Maples next phase of growth, building on the platforms strong foundations through our operational expertise and active asset management approach.
Emmanuel Jaclot, Executive Vice-President and Head of Infrastructure and Sustainability, La Caisse, said: Five years ago, we entered Indias roads sector with a single asset and a conviction in the markets long-term potential. Since then, Maple has grown into one of the countrys leading road platforms. Our partnership with Macquarie Asset Management is a strong vote of confidence in what weve built and the growth opportunities ahead. Maples story is still being written, and this partnership marks an important new chapter.
India has one of the worlds largest and most diverse transport networks, with a road network extending around six million kilometres. As the countrys middle class expands, rising vehicle ownership and growing mobility needs are driving increased demand for high-quality transport infrastructure, including toll roads and electrification solutions.
