- Corridor financing pipeline: IRFC is designing financing solutions for a ₹20 lakh crore railway expansion opportunity spanning freight and high-speed rail corridors, which may include joint ventures with multilateral institutions.
- Rolling stock leasing: The company holds more than 80% of Indian Railways' passenger and cargo rolling stock on its books, providing assets under 15-to-30-year finance leases.
- Port and power diversification: IRFC is funding power generation companies to help meet the railways' projected requirement of over 8 gigawatts by 2030, alongside sizable port projects like Paradip and Tuticorin with typical ticket sizes around ₹5,000 crore.
- Renewable energy financing: With Indian Railways reaching 99.7% electrification, IRFC plans to provide low-cost loans to renewable energy producers entering power purchase agreements with the railways to support the transition to green energy.
- Multimodal logistics parks: The company is actively pursuing financing opportunities for multiple multimodal logistics parks across the country, even where individual project ticket sizes fall below ₹5,000 crore.
