CPP Investments and IndoSpace Forge a New Path in Logistics
CPP Investments and IndoSpace have recently announced a significant acquisition that reinforces their partnership in the logistics sector. This strategic move involves IndoSpace Core purchasing six industrial and logistics parks for a total value estimated at INR 30 billion (around C$471 million). Established in 2017, IndoSpace Core's primary goal has been to acquire and develop logistics facilities across India.
Strengthening Market Position
This acquisition enhances IndoSpace Core's standing as India’s leading operator of stabilized industrial and logistics real estate. CPP Investments will contribute INR 14 billion (approximately C$217 million) to support this acquisition, holding a 93% ownership stake in IndoSpace Core. This investment showcases their confidence in the growth potential of India's logistics landscape.
A Closer Look at the Assets
The newly acquired assets span approximately 380 acres, offering nearly nine million square feet of leasable area. This effectively boosts IndoSpace Core's portfolio of income-generating parks, which are strategically located in key logistics markets including prominent cities across India.
Urbanization Driving Growth
As the logistics sector in India continues to expand, it benefits from strong underlying trends driven by urbanization and a growing manufacturing footprint. Hari Krishna V, Managing Director and Head of Real Estate at CPP Investments, highlights that their long-standing partnership with IndoSpace has allowed them to seize high-quality opportunities within this sector. This acquisition is expected to provide attractive, risk-adjusted returns for stakeholders.
IndoSpace's Commitment to Quality
Anshuman Singh, MD and CEO of IndoSpace, remarks on how this transaction reflects the evolution of India’s logistics sector into a reliable long-term investment. With over 60 million square feet of developed and under-development space, IndoSpace stands as a dominant player in this field. Singh emphasizes their strategy to remain efficient with capital while actively pursuing new opportunities, particularly as India strengthens its role as a global manufacturing hub.
