Tiger Global Management sells additional stake in Delhivery

After offloading 1.7% stake in February 2023 and another 0.8% in March 2023, Internet Fund III Pte Ltd, the venture capital fund managed by US-based investment management company Tiger Global Management, on Tuesday sold additional 11.8 m shares of Delhivery for Rs 3.9 bn through bulk deal.

Shares were sold at an average price of Rs 330. However, the buyers were not immediately known. As of December 2022, Internet Fund III held 4.7% in the logistic services provider.

Earlier in March, Japanese technology giant Softbank had also divested 3.8% stake in Delhivery for Rs 9.5 bn through open market transactions.

The stock of Delhivery has more than halved from its peak seen in July last year, amid sell-off in the new-age IT companies globally due to sky-high valuations.

BHEL led consortium bags a new order

A consortium of Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) and Titagarh Wagons has been awarded the contract to build 80 sleeper Vande Bharat trains.

The listed PSU informed exchanges that it is the lead partner in the joint venture (JV) and will be supplying the trains over a period of six years.

The JV has won the order, however, the amount they'll be receiving from the national transporter would be much lower than what it had initially quoted.

Under the tender conditions for 200 Vande Bharat trains, the second-lowest bidder would have to match the price of the lowest bidder. Russia's Transmasholding (TMH) and state-owned Rail Vikas Nigam had quoted the lowest price of Rs 120 crore per trainset, which BHEL JV has agreed to.

These trainsets will be manufactured at railways-owned integral coach factory (ICF) in Chennai. The maintenance of these trains will be done for 35 years.

Currently, Vande Bharat trains are running solely with seating facilities, which limits their ability to undertake long-distance journeys.

This order will also take the railways one step closer to introducing sleeper-class Vande Bharat trains, an announcement Union Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw made recently.
