Adani Ports to acquire a 31.5% stake in Gangavaram Port from Warburg Pincus for $300m.

Adani Ports, a private ports & logistics company, agreed to acquire a 31.5% stake in Gangavaram Port, a port in India, from Warburg Pincus for $300m. “The acquisition of GPL is a part of our continued strategy to build out a port and logistics network that is unmatched in its ability to serve customers across the nation. The location of GPL in the north of AP is a strategic complement to our recent acquisition of the Port of Krishnapatnam that serves the south of AP. We believe that GPL holds great potential to complement its bulk cargo terminals with new cargo catagories that we intend to develop. The port provides us great access to an adjacent hinterland that was largely untapped by APSEZ thereby placing us in a position to serve a broader set of port customers as well as expand our overall hinterland logistics footprint for a much larger base of customers," Karan Adani, APSEZ CEO and Whole Time Director.
