Allcargo Terminals to raise ₹38.28 cr through convertible warrants issuance
Press Trust of India Mumbai
Multimodal logistics operator Allcargo Terminals Ltd (ATL) on Tuesday said it plans to raise Rs 38.28 crore through the issuance of up to 1.32 crore fully convertible warrants to the promoters/promoter group.
The proposed fundraise, which will kickstart ATL's three-year expansion plans, will be utilised for building capacity and setting up new container freight stations (CFS) and inland container depots (ICDs), the company said.
An Allcargo group firm, ATL, specializes in CFS and ICD with pan-India presence, serving diverse logistical requirements at strategic locations such as JNPT, Mundra, Chennai, and Kolkata.
"The Board of Directors of ATL has approved the preferential allotment in its meeting held on July 15, 2025," Allcargo Terminals said.
"As India's logistics sector undergoes structural transformation, ATL is well positioned to scale up operational capacity while remaining capital-efficient and growth-focussed, creating sustainable value for all stakeholders," said Shashi Kiran Shetty, Founder and Chairman, Allcargo Group.
Each warrant has a face value of Rs 2 per share, will be issued at an issue price of Rs 29 per warrant with a premium of Rs 27 per warrant, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, it stated.
This issuance accounts for approximately 5 per cent of ATL's post-conversion equity share capital and is priced at around 1 per cent premium to the SEBI-defined floor price, as per the company.
ATL said its current capacity stands at 8.3-lakh TEUs annually across seven facilities in five hubs that handle approximately 80 per cent of India's EXIM trade.
ATL plans to augment its capacity to over 13-lakh in the coming three years -- by expanding some of its key facilities and by developing new CFS/ICD facilities, the company said.
This strategic move is in line with ATL's long-term growth roadmap and will support the company's multi-location infrastructure expansion at Mundra and Nhava Sheva, Greenfield ICD at Farukhnagar and infra upgrades at existing facilities, ATL said.
Currently operating at 80-85 per cent capacity utilisation, the expansion plans will enable the company to cater to future demand and consolidate its leading position in key logistics corridors, the company said.
"This expansion comes at a time when our core facilities are operating near full capacity. The proposed expansion in Mundra and Nhava Sheva, greenfield ICD at Farukhnagar and infra upgrades at existing facilities are aligned to strengthen our multimodal footprint," said Suresh Kumar R, Managing Director, Allcargo Terminals Ltd.

Suresh Kumar addressed the state-level Livelihoods and Entrepreneurship Acceleration Programme (LEAP) organised by Mission for Eradication of Poverty in Municipal Areas (Mepma) here on Tuesday. He said that the LEAP programme is instrumental in strengthening women financially by unearthing their entrepreneurial skills and molding them into formidable business leaders. Mppma's efforts in this regard are invaluable.

He reassured them that this is not true. Mempa managing director N Tej Bharat urged Mempa staff to work tirelessly to financially empower women and help them achieve recognition as business owners. He stressed that merely providing loans is not enough; staff must also offer advice and support for their business growth.

Eternal CEO Deepinder Goyal-Backed LAT Aviation Acquires Bombardier Private Jet
LAT Aerospace, backed by Zomato's Eternal CEO Deepinder Goyal, has acquired a Bombardier Global series private jet LAT Aerospace, backed by Zomato's Eternal CEO Deepinder Goyal, has acquired a Bombardier Global series private jet, sources familiar with the development told Moneycontrol. The aircraft has been stationed at Delhi Airport's VIP bay since June 2025 and is reportedly scheduled to operate today, July 16. According to Moneycontrol, ground handling and engineering services for the aircraft are being provided by Indamer MJets Airport Services and Bird Execujet Airport Services. However, the publication noted that details such as the aircraft's exact model, registration number, and the purpose of today's flight remain unverified. The private jet acquisition comes shortly after Goyal reportedly registered a Rs 52.3 crore luxury apartment in DLF's The Camellias in Gurugram. As of June 2025, Goyal holds 36.95 crore shares (3.83% stake) in Zomato, with a market value of around Rs 9,847 crore, according to Moneycontrol. Forbes estimates his net worth at $1.6 billion. While the exact model is not confirmed, a Bombardier Global 8000, equipped with Ka-band Wi-Fi, carries a list price of $78 million. A Global 6500 costs around $56 million new, while pre-owned variants typically range between $30–$45 million, depending on age and condition. Private jet purchases attract a 28% IGST for personal use. However, for commercial operators, the tax rate is only 5%, making the NSOP model financially more viable. According to Moneycontrol, India had 114 active NSOP holders as of June 2024. LAT Aerospace and Goyal's Aviation Bet Goyal launched LAT Aerospace in June 2025, as revealed in a LinkedIn post by co-founder Surobhi Das. The startup aims to revolutionise regional air travel in India—an area long plagued by high costs, low connectivity, and underutilised infrastructure. 'While building Zomato and flying across India, Deepinder and I kept circling back to the same question: Why is regional air travel still so broken, expensive, infrequent, and mostly out of reach unless you live in a metro?" Das wrote. LAT Aerospace has reportedly raised $50 million in funding, with Goyal contributing $20 million. The company is currently hiring aerospace engineers, systems designers, and aviation enthusiasts to develop its regional aviation platform. Diverse Ventures and India's Private Jet Ecosystem Beyond Zomato, Blinkit, and LAT Aerospace, Goyal also launched Continue, a wellness and mental health venture, under Upslope Advisors Pvt Ltd. India's private aviation sector has seen strong momentum in recent years, driven by favorable tax reforms and infrastructure investments. Initiatives like GIFT City's aircraft leasing program, customs duty relief (2.5–3%), and GST reductions have further fueled interest in private jet ownership. As per Moneycontrol, India currently has the largest private jet fleet in South Asia and ranks third in the Asia-Pacific region, with over 151 registered business jets. To support this growth, airports across India have launched or revamped General Aviation (GA) terminals. Notable examples include: Delhi IGI Airport, which launched India's first GA terminal in 2020. Mumbai Airport, which revamped its luxury GA terminal in 2022. Kochi Airport, where PM Modi inaugurated a 40,000 sq ft business jet terminal in December 2022. Hyderabad Airport, which unveiled a new GA terminal in September 2024. The global business jet market, valued at over $24 billion in 2020, is projected to reach $37 billion by 2028, according to Statista. In India, rising demand is being driven by a growing ultra-high-net-worth individual (UHNI) population, expected to surge 50% by 2028. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
