Summary · why it matters

Blackstone Inc. has offered to sell up to 25% of India's Knowledge Realty Trust, a real estate investment trust it backs with local partner Sattva Group, in a deal that could raise as much as $1.3 billion. The floor price of 108 rupees per unit represented a 4.7% discount to the prior close and a 13% discount to net asset value.
