“The 400 million Dollars Fund works with land-owners, state governments and developers; particularly medium size developers who lack both money and management talent, to produce international quality real estates, which supply to the high demand sector of the industry.Property developers are increasingly revolving towards private equity funds for financing their projects as commercial banks have strengthen their lending to real estate. The Fund takes both controlling and minority positions. The Fund also looks at investing in related sectors such as construction, mortgage, lending and infrastructure. The Fund invests between 5 million Dollars to 50 million Dollars in each investment. TCG is the property development and investment arm of The Chatterjee Group.
