Emaar Properties, the flagship developer in Dubai with a market capitalization of over $30 billion, has officially confirmed that it is in talks with several Indian companies, including Adani Group, for the potential sale of a stake in its Indian unit.
According to a filing with the Dubai Stock Exchange, the discussions are at an initial stage and the terms and valuation of the deal are yet to be agreed upon. According to reputable Indian publication Mint, it could be about acquiring a controlling stake in Emaar India for 40-50 billion rupees (approximately $480-600 million).
Development history and financial performance
Emaar’s journey in the Indian market began in 2005 through a joint venture with MGF Development, where the company invested 85 billion rupees. After the termination of the partnership in 2016 and the formal demerger of the business in 2018, the company has continued to grow independently with over 30 premium projects totaling over 25 million square feet.
Emaar Properties’ financial performance is showing strong growth, with revenues up 30% to UAE AED 23.8 billion (approximately $6.5 billion) in the first three quarters of 2024. Particularly impressive is the 60% growth in real estate sales to AED 50 billion between January and September 2024.
