Abu Dhabi – Investcorp Capital plc (the “Company” or “Investcorp Capital”) (ADX symbol: “ICAP”), an investor in private markets and alternative investment opportunities, is pleased to announce the sale of its entire stake in Citykart, one of India’s fastest-growing value retailers focused on Tier-2 and Tier-3 towns, to TPG NewQuest and A91 Partners. It represents the fifth full exit from the Investcorp group’s India Consumer Growth Portfolio (ICGP) and the sixth liquidity event for the Investcorp group’s India franchise in the past 32 months.
The operating scale-up has seen Citykart’s store network expand dramatically from 37 to 137 stores. This leads to an estimated revenue of INR 8.8 billion (about US $102 million) for FY 2025. This growth is mirrored by a matching growth in EBITDA, with sustained industry leading margins. It has consistently delivered profitability while building core functions, strengthening governance, and attracting strong talent across leadership and mid-management levels.
Investcorp Capital has successfully exited several investments this year, including RESA Power in Private Equity and US National I Portfolio in Real Estate.
Commenting on the exit, Interim Chief Executive Officer, Mohamed Aamer, said:
“Our exit from Citykart and other recent exits across the portfolio demonstrate our ability to generate risk-adjusted returns globally. We continue to look for opportunities to unlock value in global markets, investing in innovation and achieving profitable returns for investors.”
