DLF plans to sell stakes in Pune, 
Noida IT parks for Rs 1,300 crore
Gurgaon Based DLF, India's largest real estate company, will sell its shareholding in two IT SEZs in Pune and Noida, for a combined value of Rs 1,300 crore, as it steps up the disposal of non-core assets to pay down debt of almost $5 billion. Two partners, Ackruti City and The 3C Company, will also exit. Blackstone is likely to buy the IT SEZ in Pune for Rs 900 crore, while a high net worth investor will buy the Noida IT Park for Rs 400 crore.

The transactions have not yet closed. DLF's has a 70 per cent stake in each of the two properties. Ackruti City is a co-promoter in the Pune venture, while The 3C Company is a partner in the Noida IT park both with 30 per cent each. Both partners are selling their stakes.

The two sales are in line with DLF's strategy to divest non-core assets. The company had said last month that it plans to sell developed assets, including IT Parks and its hotels business and raise about Rs 7,000 crore over the next two years to reduce its debt. DLF's net debt at the end of March was close to Rs 24,000 crore.

The DLF-Ackruti IT SEZ in Pune's Hinjewadi area has a total area of 5 million sq ft of which 1.8 million is currently operational. It has prominent tenants such as Cognizant Technologies, Tata Consultancy Services, Barclays and Novalis.

Another 3.3 million sq ft is under construction at the moment. DLF had initially planned to raise Rs 4,500 crore from sale of its non-core assets. In a recent presentation, it has said that it now plans to raise Rs 10,000 crore in the next 2-3 year.
