A.P. Moller Capital, the investment arm of the A.P. Moller Group, is considering acquiring a stake in Pristine Logistics & Infraprojects Ltd, a rail-focused logistics company in India. This potential deal comes as Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), which currently holds a 57% stake in Pristine Logistics, nears the end of its fund life and seeks to exit its investment.
Pristine Logistics is a well-established player in the Indian rail logistics sector. The company owns warehousing space and operates a fleet of containers, trailers, and rakes. It also holds a Category I license, allowing it to run container trains for import-export operations on specific routes. Notably, Pristine Logistics acquired Sical Logistics Ltd in 2023 through India’s bankruptcy law.
This potential acquisition aligns with A.P. Moller Capital’s focus on strategic investments within the transportation and energy transition sectors. If the deal goes through, A.P. Moller Capital would join the existing investors in Pristine Logistics, which could bring valuable resources and expertise to the Indian rail logistics company.
