Bharat Road Network Limited (“BRNL”) has signed an agreement with Cube Highways for the complete transfer of ownership in an operating toll road project in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. BRNL currently holds 39% stake in this project.
The Share Purchase Agreement provides for the sale of entire stake in Ghaziabad Aligarh Expressway Private Limited, the special purpose vehicle (SPV) engaged in the development, operation and maintenance of a 126-kilometre toll road project from Ghaziabad to Aligarh on National Highway 34 ("NH34").
