On 17 September, 2019, Coffee Day Enterprises Ltd (CDEL) had announced about the deal as part of its move to pare its debt, which is nearly Rs 5,000 crore. CDEL has been trying to divest its assets to pare debt after the death of its promoter VG Siddhartha. Besides Global Tech Park, the Coffee Day Group, is also looking to reduce debt of Sical Logistics, which runs port terminals and container freight stations. CDEL had said that the company has sold the tech park to focus on its core business and reduce the debt of Coffee Day Group. Coffee Day Enterprises shares on Wednesday settled at Rs 41.70, down 0.24 per cent from the previous close.
