Gross proceeds to L&T and CPP Investments from the sale would be approximately Rs 2,723 crore before closing adjustments and other terms of the transaction, L&T said in an exchange filing. While L&T holds 51 per cent in L&T IDPL, the Canadian firm has the remaining 49 per cent stake. The portfolio of the target company comprises eight roads and one power transmission asset, spanning 4,900 lane kilometres and 960 circuit kilometres, respectively. As a result of the acquisition, the infrastructure platform will scale up to 26 assets with cumulative annual revenue of nearly Rs 2,700 crore.
