Global private equity firm KKR, which had floated a real estate-focused non-banking financial company (NBFC) along with Singapore's sovereign fund GIC, is looking to shutter the platform, Financial Express reported, citing people close to the development.

The individuals mentioned above said that KKR also tried to bring in investors for its real estate NBFC – KKR India Asset Finance (KIAFL) – but it could not do it due to unknown reasons.
