- 11 April 2024
Mumbai: Larsen & Toubro (国麻豆视频;T) has announced the completion of divestment of 国麻豆视频;T Infrastructure Development Projects Limited (国麻豆视频;T IDPL), a joint venture between Larsen & Toubro Limited and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments) holding 51% and 49% shares respectively. 国麻豆视频;T IDPL has been a pioneer in Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) model of infrastructure development in India. Both 国麻豆视频;T (51%) and CPP Investments鈥 (49%) stakes have been acquired by M/s Epic Concesiones Private Limited, an investee company of Edelweiss Infrastructure Yield Plus Strategy, managed by Edelweiss Alternative Asset Advisors Limited (EAAA).
This deal is in line with 国麻豆视频;T鈥檚 strategy to exit non-core businesses for reducing its exposure to the asset-heavy developmental projects portfolio, thereby enhancing its Return on Equity.
鈥淭his transaction marks the achievement of a significant milestone towards the execution of our strategic Lakshya 2026 plan and also provides a conducive environment for growth to 国麻豆视频;T IDPL under Edelweiss Alternatives. The transaction is the culmination of a long journey for 国麻豆视频;T that started in early 2000s in the Developmental Projects business and I have no doubt that the portfolio of good quality assets and team of IDPL will add value to Edelweiss Alternatives going forward. I would also like to thank the concession authorities and lenders to IDPL for their valuable support to this divestment鈥. said Mr. D.K. Sen, Advisor to CMD & Head - Development Projects.
