IL&FS Group exits equity in Pipavav

April 01-15, 2011

IL&FS Group has exited its investments made in Pipavav Shipyard. The group through multiple investment arms including an entity that acts as a trustee of SCB Asian Infrastructure Fund together sold around 7.6 per cent stake in Pipavav Shipyard for about Rs. 412 crore ($91 million).

IL&FS Group had invested around Rs. 109 crore starting with 2005-06 to buy the shares of the company that went public in 2009. Bulk of this was through sale by promoters of Pipavav including the SKIL Group at Rs. 10 per share with the rest coming through a fresh issue at a price of Rs. 45 per share in November 2007.

Last October, London-listed private equity firm Trinity Capital had also completed its exit from Pipavav Shipyard making 3.6 times on its 46-month-old investment.
