Canonicus Capital has announced the successful closure of its private equity fund with committed capital of ₹200 crore. The fund is dedicated to investing in high-impact, high-potential real estate opportunities across the National Capital Region (NCR).

The fund will primarily focus on opportunities offering strong downside protection, secure structures, and high-return visibility. Investment priorities include last-mile completion financing and short-term bridge funding structured as pre-launch debt segments where capital plays a critical role in enabling timely project delivery.

Speaking on the fund strategy, Rajan Gupta, Director of Canonicus Capital, said, Private equity comes with high hurdle-rate expectations. To deliver those returns responsibly, we intend to back projects where capital acts as a catalyst for timely delivery and value unlocking.

Canonicus Capital is open to acquiring marquee under-development assets that can ultimately be sold to REITs, given the evolving appetite of global institutional investors. Pension funds are still cautious about development risk but continue to pay a premium for fully developed, rental-yielding assets. That creates a strong opportunity for sponsors who can take projects from mid-stage to completion, Further he added.  

With this fund closure, Canonicus Capital positions itself among the few private equity platforms in India with a focused strategy on structured credit, operational turnaround, and value creation within the real estate sector.
