In December, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC Pte Ltd and ESR Cayman Ltd formed a joint venture (JV) to develop and buy industrial and logistics assets worth $750 million in India, where a booming online retail industry has stoked demand for warehouses.
The venture will be owned 80% by GIC and the rest by ESR Cayman, a joint statement said. It will seek to build and own industrial and logistics facilities as well as acquire core or operational assets, focusing on tier-I and tier-II cities. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals.
