CapitaLand launched its second logistics private fund worth Rs 2,250 crore or Rs 22.5 billion, in a bid to expand the country's logistics sector. The CapitaLand India Logistics Fund II will invest in the development of logistics assets in major manufacturing and warehousing hubs located in six cities across the country - Chennai, Pune, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, National Capital Region, and Mumbai. It will also invest in emerging markets such as Jaipur, Lucknow, Coimbatore, Guwahati, and Kolkata. The second private fund follows the deployment of CapitaLand's first logistics private fund, the $400 million program which was launched in 2018, to develop six logistics and industrial projects in Bangalore, Chennai, Bengaluru, Pune, and NCR.
