Brookfield Asset Management Inc., Canada’s largest alternative asset manager, will look for renewable energy opportunities in India as the country seeks to reduce its reliance on coal.

"It’s looking for a way to create both domestic sources of power and reduce pollution," Sachin Shah, chief executive officer of Brookfield Renewable Partners LP, said on a conference call Wednesday.
