Dubai Property Developer Emaar to Reorganize India Business

The developer of Dubai's Burj Khalifa skyscraper says it is reorganizing its business in India, according to Associated Press. Dubai-based Emaar Properties said that it will reorganize Indian division Emaar MGF Land Limited through a "demerger." Emaar MGF is a joint venture set up in 2005 between the Emirati developer and India's MGF Developments Limited. Emaar says the move will allow it to "implement focused strategy for its real estate business in India and will allow the business to undertake future expansion strategies." It did not say what financial implications the move might have. Emaar earlier this week announced plans to build a $1 billion observation tower in Dubai that will be taller than its existing record-setting skyscraper.
