Alta Capital, the Indian operating partner of Singapore-based PE and Asset Manager, Hillhouse Investments, has acquired a fully-built and leased warehousing portfolio of 2.5 million sq. ft. from IndoSpace, at an enterprise value of ~USD 100 million.
Avendus Capital was the exclusive financial advisor to IndoSpace on the transaction.
IndoSpace, backed by global investors like Everstone, Realterm, GLP and CPPIB, is India’s largest developer and operator of Grade A industrial and logistics real estate, owning 50+ industrial logistics parks in 11 cities of India, spread across more than 58 million sq. ft.
The transacted assets owned by IndoSpace are located in prime warehousing markets of Pune and Sri City, catering to the warehousing needs of West and South India for blue-chip multinational tenants across sectors like manufacturing, e-commerce and 3PL.
The transaction marks Alta Capital’s second core transaction in the expanding Indian logistics market, both of which had Avendus Capital representing on the sell-side. This transaction is expected to be a significant step in growing Alta’s warehousing portfolio to 11+ million sq. ft.
Prateek Jhawar, MD & Head, Infrastructure & Real Assets Investment Banking, Avendus Capital said, “Alta Capital’s acquisition reflects the sustained interest of global investors in India’s industrial warehousing and logistics sector, further underscoring Avendus’ market leadership in this space. We ran a tight process which attracted participation not only from a clutch of global strategic and financial investors but also from select family offices and wealth management firms. This widening investor base is a great sign and reflects the immense growth potential that India’s industrial and warehousing sector holds for the future.”
