PFS extends debt, mezzanine and bridge finance to projects in renewable power generation, transmission, distribution, road HAM/annuity projects, sewage treatment projects, water supply projects, e-mobility projects, among others, with an aim towards financing sustainable green infrastructure projects and other economic strategy sectors.
