At the time, MAHB stated that the sale was aimed at unlocking its investment value as part of its portfolio rebalancing strategy.

Elaborating on the reason to terminate the sale, the Malaysian airport operator claimed that GMR failed to meet the obligations under the agreement before 31 December.

“MAHB and MAHB Private Limited shall remain as shareholders of GHIAL accordingly.”

In a regulatory filing, MAHB said: “The board of directors of MAHB wishes to announce that the SPA has been automatically terminated due to failure of the purchaser to complete their obligation in accordance with the terms of the SPA by 31 December 2018.
