Transindia Real Estate, the company formed as a result of the demerger of the logistics business of Allcargo Logistics, has signed a firm agreement to sell its logistics park at Jhajjar in Haryana at an enterprise value of approximately ₹636.71 crore.
The company has also sold 10 per cent stake in five other logistics parks - Malur Logistics & Industrial Parks, Venkatapura Logistics & Industrial Parks, Kalina Warehousing, Panvel Warehousing, and Allcargo Logistics & Industrial Park.
All the transactions together would yield ₹433.37 crore in cash that would be used for its growth plans and expand its operations across the country, the company said in a statement.
