Future Group's real estate arm Future Market Networks is planning to set up eight infra-logistics parks with up to 2mn sft of space in each over the next three years. The company has entered into an equal joint venture with IL&FS and will spend over 12bn Indian Rupee on setting up such parks in Mumbai, Pune, the national capital region, Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Vapi and Baddi. Future Market Networks, earlier called Agre Developers, is acquiring 100 acres in Khopoli near Mumbai. It had earlier acquired 113 acres in Kolkata and 50 acres each at Ghaziabad and Jhajjar in Haryana. The promoter of Future Group, Kishore Biyani, holds 68% in Future Market Networks, while the rest is held by the public. Future Group's logistics company Future Supply Chain will be the anchor tenant at all of these parks, while rest of the space will be targeted at third-party companies involved in fast moving consumer goods and logistics businesses. The investment of 12bn Indian Rupee will be funded through a mix of equity and mezzanine finance.
