“Since the beginning of this partnership with NIIF, we have made significant progress in building an inland logistics infrastructure network of great scale that complements our container ports platform.”

Expected to be completed by the first quarter of next year, the deal awaits the completion of customary conditions.

This marks the single largest investment by the NIIF Master Fund and will help expand its existing alliance with Dubai-based port operator DP World, which was established through the formation of Hindustan Infralog Private Limited (HIPL) in 2018.

HIPL has invested in rail logistics, multi-modal logistics parks, container freight stations, economic zones, cold chain infrastructure and contract logistics to form an integrated logistics platform.

In January, DP World started construction of a $1.13bn deep-water port at Ndayane, Senegal.
