Fairfax Sells 51% Stake in Saurashtra Freight to Japanese Firm for ₹662 Crore - Strategic Exit or Market Timing?

Fairfax just cashed out big—selling majority control of Saurashtra Freight to a Japanese buyer for ₹662 crore. The move signals a major reshuffle in India's logistics landscape.
Why Japan's Betting Big
Japanese firms are diving deep into Indian infrastructure—and this acquisition isn't just another line item. It’s a strategic foothold in one of Asia’s fastest-growing freight markets.
The Numbers Don't Lie
At ₹662 crore, this isn't pocket change—even for a player like Fairfax. The deal values Saurashtra Freight at nearly ₹1,300 crore, a number that’ll make rivals sweat.
Timing or Tiredness?
Fairfax exits as freight demand peaks—smart divestment or just another fund cashing out before the cycle turns? Classic finance move: buy low, sell before the regulators notice.
