LI Sponsor Investment Pte Limited, owned by Assetz and LOGOS, has 9 million sq ft of gross leasable area with $500 million of assets under management across Bengaluru, Chennai and the National Capital Region (NCR).

After exiting, Assetz will own the Bangalore warehousing facilities but will be managed by LOGOS under the development management agreement. NCR and Chennai will be held by a LOGOS Venture and managed by LOGOS.

Assetz and LOGOS maintain an ongoing relationship through its JV in developing and managing Assetz’s Devanahalli and Nelamangala properties and other strategic mandates.

Assetz is also in the process of setting up a data centre fund of over $500 million.

With the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and the emergence of e-commerce, the Indian logistics and warehousing sector is moving towards a transformative growth phase.
