Mumbai: US buyouts firm TPG Capital is competing with Singapore sovereign fund Temasek, Canada’s CPP Investment Board and Prem Watsa’s Fairfax Financial Holdings to acquire as much as 49% of Mumbai’s airport operator from the GVK group.
A possible deal will value Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL), which manages the country’s second-busiest airport, at Rs 12,500-15,000 crore, multiple sources close to the negotiations told ET.
The transaction would be similar to the arrangement that GVK has done in Bengaluru earlier this year, when it sold a 33% stake to India-born Canadian billionaire Watsa’s Fairfax for Rs 2,200 crore, they said.
A stake in MIAL would give these financial investors a piece of the nation’s fast growing civil aviation market.
For Secunderabad-based GVK, which owns 50.5% of MIAL, selling the stake would bring funds to reduce debt but could also see its near exit from the operator of the prestigious Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in the commercial capital.
