TVS Logistics Services Ltd. (TVS LSL), the India-based multinational third-party logistics service provider, announced that it has reached an agreement with Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), one of North America's largest pension fund managers.

Under this agreement, CDPQ will invest over INR 1000 crores ($155 million US) to acquire a sizeable minority stake in TVS LSL, a privately held subsidiary of the TVS Group. Following this transaction, existing investors Goldman Sachs and KKR will fully exit their investments in TVS LSL. CDPQ will purchase most of their joint stake, while TVS family members and management will acquire the remainder.

Beyond this equity investment, CDPQ is ready to commit significant additional capital to finance transformative acquisitions and support the expansion of TVS LSL in India and globally.

R. Dinesh, Managing Director, TVS Logistics Services Ltd., said, "We are happy to have CDPQ, a leading global institutional asset manager, on board. Over the years, we have benefitted from a meaningful partnership with global investors like Goldman Sachs and KKR. We believe CDPQ is the perfect long-term partner for our next phase of growth as we look to expand the scale of our business.

TVS Logistics, over the years, has grown at a CAGR of more than 30% and has a strong global track record of growth, both organically and through acquisitions. We look forward to continuing this evolution and building on our successes through a fruitful partnership with CDPQ."
