Originally known as IDFC Infrastructure Finance Limited (IDFC-IFL), the name of the company changed to NIIF Infrastructure Finance in 2019 when the National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF) of India acquired equity stake in this Non- Banking Finance Company (NBFC). With this change, the company had to set up a separate IT estate from the one it previously shared with IDFC IFL. Moreover, it was crucial to protect confidential data, enhance safety, security and efficiency in processes and achieve compliance as per the RBI guidelines for IT framework for NBFCs.

"After NIIF Infrastructure Finance Limited became a separate entity, it had to operate in compliance with the RBI regulations for NBFCs. This would include all IT regulatory aspects from infrastructure to operating systems. Tata Communications enabled us set up a secure cloud-based infrastructure that will effortlessly keep pace with technology trends."
