The 3 lakh sq ft operational property was acquired from a fund managed by Kotak Alternate Asset Managers Limited led consortium. Sources have confirmed that the premium Grade A office space in South Delhi was acquired for around ₹750 crore, with a monthly rent of approximately ₹5 to ₹6 crore.
Prius Platinum was initially acquired by the Kotak consortium through the IBC process in 2021. Since then, it has undergone significant upgrades, ESG initiatives, and enhancements in operational performance, leading to increased leasing activity. The transaction marks a significant milestone in the firm's value-creation strategy and commitment to sustainability-driven investments.
The property is 95% leased, providing stable rental income with a weighted average lease expiry (WALE) of five years and in-place lock-in periods, ensuring long-term income stability. The asset boasts a diverse tenant stack, including leading legal, pharma, and financial institutions of India and other front office tenants. This acquisition reinforces PRIME fund’s strategy of investing in high-quality office spaces across India’s prime commercial hubs.
JLL India was the transaction advisor for the deal. While the consultancy did not comment on the transaction, Gaurav Puri, CIO of NCW, expressed excitement about the acquisition. “We are excited to acquire Prius Platinum.

This sale is a testament to the strength of our asset management capabilities and our ability to create long-term value for stakeholders through sustainability-focused strategies.”
