Key Asset Divestment
In a strategic move to optimize its asset portfolio, a prominent real estate developer has concluded a significant transaction involving its Information
Technology Special Economic Zone (IT-SEZ) project situated in Kolkata, along with an adjacent parcel of undeveloped land. This divestment, amounting to Rs 710 crore, is a key component of the company's broader strategy to generate capital from its commercial property holdings. The transaction, which was initially announced in April of the previous year, has now reached its completion. The deal involved the transfer of the IT/ITeS SEZ undertaking, which includes the established property and the constructed facility known as 'DLF TechPark II', to Makalu Builders LLP. This entity is recognized as being part of the Srijan Group and Srijan Realty Pvt Ltd. The sale of the vacant land, measuring approximately 17.75 acres, was simultaneously finalized with Gangapurna Projects LLP, another firm affiliated with the Srijan Group, marking a substantial exchange of assets valued collectively at Rs 710.23 crore.
