-- Investment reflects growing demand for mobile connectivity and 5G 
 
      infrastructure in India. 
 
 
   MONTRÃ%AL and MUMBAI, India, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Global 
investment group La Caisse (formerly CDPQ), and Brookfield today 
announced that La Caisse has invested approximately INR 121 billion (CAD 
1.76 billion) to acquire a 24% stake in Altius Telecom Infrastructure 
Trust ("Altius"), India's largest independent telecom tower platform. 
With the transaction now complete, Brookfield remains Altius' largest 
investor, alongside La Caisse and existing shareholders who are 
affiliates of GIC and British Columbia Investment Management Corporation 
(BCI). 
 
 
   Altius owns and operates more than 258,000 telecom towers and sites 
across India, giving it a nationwide presence. The platform provides the 
infrastructure that enables mobile operators to deliver 4G and 5G 
services. India is the world's second-largest telecommunications market, 
and continued growth in mobile data use and 5G is increasing the need 
for digital infrastructure. 
 
 
   "As India's economy grows and more people and businesses rely on higher 
use of mobile data, the infrastructure behind those connections needs to 
keep pace," said Emmanuel Jaclot, Executive Vice-President and Head of 
Infrastructure and Sustainability at La Caisse. "This is a sector we 
know well through our investments in telecom towers and digital 
infrastructure around the world. With Altius, we are investing in an 
attractive market through an established platform, alongside Brookfield 
and other institutional partners with whom we have longstanding 
relationships." 
 
 
   Sam Pollock, CEO of Brookfield's Infrastructure group, said, "Altius has 
built a scaled, nationwide platform that is in a leading position to 
meet India's demand for mobile connectivity and 5G infrastructure. La 
Caisse's investment brings another long-term institutional partner to 
the platform and reflects confidence in the strength of the business. 
Alongside our partners, we will continue to support Altius' next phase 
of growth by deploying our owner-operator capabilities and disciplined, 
long-term approach to infrastructure investing."
