KKR表示，作为其亚太基础设施战略的一部分，将对印度散装液体和气体储存公司Cisternina Logistics进行控股投资。
said it will make a majority investment in Indian bulk liquid and gas storage company Cisternina Logistics as part of its Asia Pacific infrastructure strategy.
KKR表示，该投资将支持Cisternina拟收购Ganesh Benzoplast Ltd的液体储存终端和铁路业务，该业务将作为平台的核心资产。
The investment, KKR said, will support Cisternina’s proposed acquisition of Ganesh Benzoplast Ltd’s liquid storage terminal and rail business, which will serve as the platform’s anchor asset.

成立于2024年的Cisternina业务涵盖能源、化工、散装液体和食用油领域。

公司计划通过收购、存量扩建和新建存储基础设施在印度各地扩张。

根据双方公司披露，拟收购Ganesh Benzoplast的液体储存终端业务将使Cisternina拥有约50万千升的在运营和在建储存容量，分布在贾瓦哈拉尔·尼赫鲁港、科钦和果阿。
The proposed acquisition of Ganesh Benzoplast’s liquid storage terminal business would give Cisternina a portfolio of about 500,000 kilolitres of operating and under-construction storage capacity across the Jawaharlal Nehru Port, Cochin, and Goa, according to the companies.

India’s coastal infrastructure handles about 95% of the country’s external trade by volume, while demand for bulk liquids is expected to grow over the next decade, KKR said.
KKR表示，该市场仍然分散，拥有规模化、多地点运营能力的运营商相对较少，这为Cisternina通过收购和新建项目整合行业提供了空间。
The market remains fragmented, with relatively few scaled, multi-location operators, providing scope for Cisternina to consolidate the sector through acquisitions and new developments, KKR said.
“我们看到一个机会，将这种平台建设模式应用到印度的液体和气体物流领域，”KKR印度房地产资产总监Ravi Thanvi表示。
“We see an opportunity to apply this platform-building approach to India’s liquid and gas logistics sector,” said Ravi Thanvi, director of real assets at KKR India.
