QIA and Grosvenor’s participation in this round reflects the attractive opportunity to develop modern grade A industrial and logistic parks in the world’s fastest growing large economy.
The funds raised in this round will continue to advance IndoSpace’s mission of developing state-of-the-art industrial and logistics parks across the top eight markets in India.
