GHIAL Acquires 100% of ESR GMR Logistics Park to Expand Aerotropolis Strategy
GMR Airports has tightened its grip on Hyderabad’s airport-driven growth story. Through its subsidiary, GMR Hyderabad International Airport Ltd (GHIAL), the group is acquiring the remaining 70% in ESR GMR Logistics Park, making the warehousing venture a wholly owned arm of its aerotropolis ecosystem.
From Minority Stake to Full Ownership
GHIAL’s development subsidiary, GMR Hyderabad Aerotropolis, already held a 30% stake in ESR GMR Logistics Park Private Ltd (EGLPPL). With this new ₹41 crore acquisition agreement, GHIAL will own 100% of EGLPPL, strengthening its footprint in the airport-linked logistics and warehousing segment.
Inside the ESR GMR Logistics Park
Key Infrastructure and Regional Impact
EGLPPL is strategically positioned to serve Hyderabad’s fast-growing logistics sector. Situated near Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, the park offers seamless multimodal connectivity and is set to serve both cargo and last-mile e-commerce players.
Warehousing as a Growth Lever for Hyderabad SEZ
This deal complements GHIAL’s broader SEZ and land monetization strategy. The logistics park will support warehousing demand from pharma, auto, and FMCG players leveraging the airport’s cargo facilities.
GMR’s Vision: Airport-Led Urban Transformation
The acquisition fits within GMR’s integrated development framework—which spans warehousing, hospitality, office spaces, and education zones—forming a full-fledged aerotropolis around Hyderabad airport. This enhances economic activity and job creation in the region.
Building an Integrated Logistics Ecosystem Around GHIAL
With full ownership of EGLPPL, GHIAL gains greater operational flexibility and strategic control over one of Hyderabad’s key logistics infrastructure assets. As India’s airport-led urban models evolve, this acquisition reinforces GMR’s long-term vision of creating connected, self-sustained logistics and commercial zones anchored by major transport hubs.
