Mumbai, December 12, 2018 – Everstone and GLP have established a long-term partnership dedicated to investing in the logistics ecosystem in India. The collaboration, the first of its kind in India, expects to invest approximately US$500 million in strategies and technologies to enhance logistics efficiency, while connecting customers with innovative solutions that drive value and competitiveness.
Everstone and GLP see significant opportunities across the logistics value chain in India, including expressdelivery, smart trucks, telematics and automation/robotics.

Our existing capabilities and national network, coupled with GLP’s strong global track record and expertise will enable us to add significant value to our investments.”

We look forward to working closely with Everstone to establish a smart ecosystem that harnesses technology to accelerate growth, create value and drive returns for all stakeholders in India.”
In September 2018, GLP entered the India market through the establishment of a strategic joint venture with IndoSpace, the largest industrial real estate company and part of the Everstone Group.
GLP has a strong track record in creating value for customers through the logistics ecosystem globally and has been investing in technology companies over the last few yearsto improve logistics efficiency and drive cost savings. India will be the fourth country in which GLP will offer the services, following China, US and Japan.
