In May 2022, the company announced a partnership with Bain Capital and Ivanhoé Cambridge to establish a platform aimed at investing around USD 1 billion in developing digital infrastructure, including warehousing and industrial parks across India. Earlier this year, in September, Macrotech Developers acquired Ivanhoe Warehousing India Inc’s (Ivanhoe) stake in the digital infrastructure platform entities for ₹239.56 crore. Now, it has successfully given exit to Bain Capital, further consolidating its position in the digital infrastructure space.
In a regulatory filing, Macrotech Developers stated that it has executed Securities Purchase Agreements with India Opportunities Fund SSA Scheme 1 and DSS Opportunities Investment 1 (Bain Capital) to acquire their interest in the digital infrastructure platform entities. These entities include Bellissimo Digital Infrastructure Development Management Pvt Ltd, Palava Induslogic 4 Pvt Ltd, and Bellissimo In City FC Mumbai 1 Pvt Ltd.
Bain Capital held a 30 per cent stake in Bellissimo Digital Infrastructure Development Management Pvt Ltd and a 33.33 per cent stake in each of the other two entities. The acquisition agreement includes a 30 per cent equity stake in Bellissimo Digital Infrastructure Development Management for ₹22 crore, a 33.33 per cent equity stake in Palava Induslogic 4 for ₹189.88 crore, and a 33.33 per cent stake in Bellissimo In City FC Mumbai 1 for ₹95.12 crore. Each acquisition is a cash transaction that does not require additional regulatory approvals, with anticipated completion timelines ranging from 30 days to 180 days.
According to the company, this acquisition is part of its planned strategy for calibrated growth in annuity income through digital infrastructure, specifically industrial and logistics parks under the LILP (Lodha Industrial and Logistics Park) brand.
Macrotech Developers has a strong presence in the housing segment and is increasingly focusing on developing offices, malls, and logistics parks to grow its rental income.
