Moving forward, we anticipate stronger synergy between contract logistics and express distribution, solidifying our position in the domestic logistics sector."

The deal involved the acquisition of 130,000 shares (26%) from KWE-Kintetsu World Express (S) and 20,000 shares (4%) from KWE Kintetsu Express India, as stated by the company.

Yasuyuki Tani, the regional managing director of the Southeast Asia and Oceania region at KWE, expressed, "As a group, KWE, and specifically KWE India, have maintained an excellent relationship with Gati and Gati-Kintetsu over the past decade. This relationship will now transition into a more strategic partnership in domestic logistics operations within India."

Following the completion of this transaction, Allcargo, in collaboration with Gati, now possesses a 100 percent stake in GKEPL, assuming complete control. The company confirmed that this transaction aligns with the previously signed SPA (Share Purchase Agreement) between the parties in March 2023.
