Reliance Industries picks stake in logistics firm Deccan 360

19 Apr 2010 Evaluate

The Indian air-cargo sector received a major boost, with Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) picking up a stake in Deccan 360, a start-up cargo venture promoted by Capt. G.R. Gopinath. The deal amount was not undisclosed. It is neither a majority stake nor a minority one. It is above 26 per cent and below 50 per cent. The investment in the freighter airline was done through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Mukesh Ambani flagship RIL. The Deccan 360 board will have two directors from Reliance and three from Deccan.

 

According to a source, the Reliance Group Company acquired a stake of about 26-27 per cent for a consideration of around Rs 114 crore. It is a structured deal. On achieving certain milestones based on volumes and profitability, it (stake) could be scaled up to 40 per cent.

 

Deccan 360 will tap into Reliance's resources in information technology, retail and expertise in building huge infrastructure. The air cargo sector has been abuzz with activity the last few months, with airline majors Jet Airways, Kingfisher Airlines and Air India strengthening their focus on the cargo business. However, lack of infrastructure continues to plague the industry, which is slated to touch Rs 13,300 crore by 2011-12.
