As India’s growth story gains momentum and the number of billionaires rises, the country’s luxury market is seeing a boom like never before, with the taste for luxury moving beyond the metros. From high-end watches and jewellery to lavish residences and luxurious holidays, Indians are splurging like never before. Storied luxury brands are rushing in to satiate this demand, often roping in Indian celebs as ambassadors.

Earlier this month, Allcargo Logistics acquired the remaining 38.87% stake of its partner ACCI in the contract logistics arm for ₹145 crore. With this, Allcargo acquired 100% stake in the contract logistics business, which is engaged in managing inventories and providing third-party supply chain solutions to domestic and international customers across chemicals, auto, e-commerce and other industries. Besides, the board of the company also approved the sale of the smaller non-core customs clearance business of the group. As a result, Allcargo will divest its 61.13% shares for an enterprise value of ₹42 crore.
In February this year, Allcargo entered into a securities purchase agreement (SPA) with BRE Asia Urban Holdings to acquire 90% equity share capital and optionally convertible debentures (OCDs) of Madanahatti Logistics and Industrial Parks. The acquisition was in line with the real estate business being demerged into TransIndia Realty & Logistics Parks, which strategically fit with future plans.
Besides, in January, the logistics firm purchased 75% stake in Fair Trade GmbH, a strong player in Germany, through its subsidiary Allcargo Belgium NV. Fair Trade is a major player in the cargo consolidation segment in Germany, handling cargo movement across the Europe-Asia, Europe-Latin America, and Europe-North America routes.
