Govt positive about Nashik airport expansion: Mohol

Nashik: Union minister of state for civic aviation Murlidhar Mohol on Wednesday said govt was positive about the expansion of the Nashik airport terminal in view of the Kumbh Mela . Mohol said the new airport terminal was built at Prayagraj in just 15 months ahead of the Kumbh Mela there. "Now, we are positive about the expansion of the existing Nashik airport terminal building and also improving its air connectivity," he said. The Nashik airport, managed by defence PSU Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL), is located around 20km from Nashik city. Mohol said he discussed the airport expansion with CM Devendra Fadnavis, who requested him to visit the facility and review the scope for expansion. The Union minister also held a meeting with HAL and Nashik airport officials, directing HAL to send an expansion proposal to CM Fadnavis and him. A delegation of Nashik Industries & Manufacturers' Association (NIMA) also met Mohol and discussed issues related to the airport expansion and approval for the immigration check-post at the terminal. NIMA president Ashish Nahar stated Mohol assured them of expanding the airport terminal and enhancing the air connectivity from the airport. Manish Rawal, chairman of the aviation committee of NIMA, said considering the rise in the number of flights and passengers during the upcoming Simhastha Kumbh Mela, there was a need to increase the capacity of the existing airport terminal. At present, a private airline is operating flights from Nashik airport to six destinations — Delhi, Goa, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Nagpur. The airline is also planning to start flights to Kolkata. State govt and HAL jointly developed the Nashik airport terminal around 12 years back at Rs 94 crore. In 2015, state govt leased the airport terminal at Rs 1,000 per month for 30 years till 2045. The seating capacity of the present terminal building is around 300 passengers. The average passengers footfall at the airport throughout the day is around 1,500.

UK's Long Harbour proposes $852 million bid for PRS REIT

BENGALURU: UK property investor Long Harbour has made a 631.6 million pound ($852 million) takeover proposal for Britain's PRS REIT at below the market price, sending PRS REIT shares down around 2% on Wednesday. PRS, a real-estate investment trust that has put itself up for sale, said London-based Long Harbour was proposing to offer 115 pence per share in cash, a 3.3% discount to PRS' closing price of 118.8 pence on Tuesday. The shares hit a record high of 125 pence earlier in the day after Sky News reported the possible offer and said Long Harbour had secured financing to launch a 700 million pound bid. A deal could add to a flurry of recent transactions within the UK-listed REIT industry, and underscore the growing appetite among players to bolster operations against an uncertain economic backdrop. "Intra-REIT M&A ... makes fewer, larger and more investable stocks, so less is more," Jefferies analysts said in a note on Tuesday. Last week, Unite Group proposed to buy Empiric Student Property for about $976 million, while Warehouse REIT agreed to be bought by investment firm Blackstone for $635 million. LondonMetric agreed to buy Urban Logistics for $925 million in May. PRS, which focuses on family homes in the private rented sector, said in February it had received several proposals from unidentified parties. The company said on Wednesday it expected to provide an update on its sale process by the end of June. The process followed the launch of a strategic review in October after PRS replaced two board members, including its then chair, in agreement with a group of shareholders who had demanded these changes.
