The company claims a high-quality tenant base and has a current occupancy rate of over 99 per cent.

Ritesh Vohra, a partner and head of real estate at Investcorp India, said Investcorp has been actively investing in the warehousing sector globally for many years now.

N Amrutesh Reddy, Managing Director of NDR, said, the company intends to continue the aggressive growth plans nationally, underpinned by the strong execution capabilities and long-standing tenant relationships.

He did not say who are other investors or how much equity has been diluted in favour of the new investors.
