    Promoters of Mumbai-based conglomerate Welspun Group have acquired a majority stake in One Industrial Spaces, an integrated real estate fund focused on warehousing sector, for an undisclosed amount.

    This includes a marquee 3 million square feet project in Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), both the companies said in statement.

    “Currently,a big challenge for existing players in this space is the land acquisition and approvals. As Welspun One, we are uniquely positioned to address these challenges. We can now leverage their (Welspun's) deep understanding and experience in buying large land parcels and successfully executing millions of square feet of industrial and infrastructure projects pan India," said Anshul Singhal, managing director, Welspun One.

    The company would continue to build its core business of fund, development and asset management, which includes raising funds from domestic and foreign institutional investors to invest in the industrial asset class in India in an organized, transparent and institutional manner, he added.
