India, 24th September 2024 — Logicap Management Pte. Ltd., a portfolio company of Rava Partners,  announces its joint venture with Mitsubishi Estate (MEC) to develop modern industrial and logistics  facilities across key industrial hubs in India. This collaboration represents a pivotal move in  addressing India’s rapidly growing demand for state-of-the-art infrastructure solutions and marks a  significant step in the expansion strategies of both companies. 

The seed portfolio includes facilities strategically located in the National Capital Region (NCR) of  Delhi. Together, Logicap and MEC aim to build world-class, sustainable facilities that cater to the  needs of both traditional industries and the fast-growing e-commerce and IT sectors. 

Seed Portfolio: World-Class Industrial and Logistics Assets in India’s Growth Zones The joint venture’s initial portfolio includes two large-scale facilities located in Gurgaon, Haryana,  part of the NCR region. These projects are spread across a total site area of 29 hectares, offering a  combined effective area of 179,000 square meters. Developed by Pragati Warehousing, a portfolio  company of Logicap, these facilities are designed to support industries ranging from traditional  manufacturing to e-commerce. 

The facilities have been fully occupied since their completion between 2021 and 2022,  demonstrating the robust demand for high-quality logistics infrastructure. With direct access to  major highways and industrial centers, these assets will continue to support India’s growing supply  chain needs and serve global corporations operating in the country. 

Expansion Through Pragati Warehousing 

Logicap operates key development platforms in India—Pragati Warehousing —which oversee the  development and management of these logistics facilities. Pragati Warehousing, one of India’s  leading logistics developers, has a track record of developing over 12 million square feet of Grade-A  warehouses. 

“With the rapid expansion of India’s manufacturing hubs and the surge in e-commerce, this  collaboration with Rava Partners allows us to create world-class industrial and logistics facilities that  meet the highest global standards. Our goal at Pragati Warehousing is to build a pan-India footprint,  providing cutting-edge solutions that address both current market demands and the critical  infrastructure challenges of the future. We are proud to be at the forefront of this transformation,  delivering sustainable, Grade-A assets across India’s key industrial regions.” Col Jitender  Yadav, Founder Pragati Warehousing 

This joint venture will play a critical role in advancing India’s logistics capacity by offering cutting edge, environmentally certified facilities that meet the stringent requirements of global operators.  Both companies aim to create a network of high-quality assets that will drive India’s long-term  economic growth. 

A Vision for Long-Term Collaboration and Value Creation

This partnership marks the beginning of what Logicap and MEC hope will be a long-term  collaboration. Both companies share a commitment to sustainable, long-term value creation through  the development of modern logistics infrastructure. Beyond this project, Logicap and MEC look  forward to building a pipeline of industrial and logistics assets that will support India’s industrial  growth for years to come. 

Priyank Shah Head of fund management Logicap Management Pte SG – “We are excited to partner  with a strategic investor such as MEC to grow out our portfolio to meet our target to acquire and  build an additional 15 million square feet of capacity in the next year – doubling our current  footprint”. 

A Strategic Opportunity in India’s Expanding Industrial and Logistics Market India’s industrial and logistics sector is experiencing rapid growth, driven by the country’s  burgeoning economy, population growth, and increased demand for efficient infrastructure. By  2025, India is expected to become the world’s fourth-largest consumer market, intensifying the need  for scalable, reliable logistics solutions. This partnership aims to seize this opportunity by developing  Grade-A industrial and logistics facilities that meet the diverse demands of manufacturing hubs and  emerging industries. 

As key industrial hubs like Chennai and Pune continue to develop, driven by India’s “Make in India”  initiative, there has been a significant rise in demand for large-scale, high-quality logistics and  industrial facilities. Both regions have become manufacturing powerhouses, attracting global  corporations across industries, including automotive, electronics, and consumer goods, contributing  to the country’s increasing need for modern infrastructure. 

Commitment to Sustainability and Innovation 

Both facilities in the Delhi NCR region have achieved LEED Gold and Indian Green Building Council  Gold certifications, reinforcing the commitment of Logicap and MEC to sustainability. The facilities  feature cutting-edge technologies designed to minimize their environmental impact, aligning with  global trends toward greener, more efficient infrastructure.
