NIIF was established in 2015 by the Government of India as a Category II Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) under the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Regulations, 2012. While both NIIF and NITI Aayog are government initiatives related to economic development, NIIF is a separate fund management entity, not a subsidiary or organ of NITI Aayog. Statement 2 is incorrect. The initial target corpus announced for NIIF was \u20b940,000 crore (approximately USD 6 billion at the time), with the government contributing 49%. The actual funds raised and managed across its various funds (Master Fund, Fund of Funds, Strategic Opportunities Fund) are substantial but have evolved and grown over time, and \u20b94,00,000 crore is not its current stated corpus or target corpus size.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With reference to &#8216;National Investment and Infrastructure Fund&#8217;, which of the following statements is\/are correct ? 1.
