[NEW DELHI] The Russian Direct Investment Fund and India's IDFC agreed on Thursday to invest up to US$1 billion in Indian infrastructure projects including in ports, toll roads and hydropower, to deepen economic ties between the two countries.
The two investors will each commit up to US$500 million under the agreement, which was signed during Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to New Delhi, RDIF said in a statement.
