The deal is expecteed in next 3 weeks.

Global Holdings Company (GHC), the holding company of telecom firms GTL and GTL Infrastructure, is in talks to acquire Mumbai-based Indmar Aviation Services Company for an undisclosed amount. The deal is expected to be concluded within the next 15-20 days.

Cash-strapped Indmar, which provides maintenance and repair services to general aviation, was in talks with investors for fund-raising.

Both, Global Projects and Aviations and Indmar officials confirmed the development. While an Indmar top source said Global Projects and Aviations has acquired Indmar, Aviations Group COO Rajiv Wadhwa said GTL and GTL Infrastructure have not directly or indirectly invested in the company. However, a GHC spokesperson denied the development.

Headquartered at the Mumbai International Airport, Indmar has presence across nine locations in the country. It has 40 engineers and is currently entangled in a legal suit with the Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL) that has served an eviction notice to the company through Airports Authority of India to vacate the premises as the designated lease period has expired. The matter is in the court.

Global Projects has plans to build a Maintenance, Repair and Overhauling (MRO) facility and venture into air cargo business with base at Baramati in Maharashtra.

Global Projects also plans to expand in the aviation-related businesses and services through acquisitions. It plans to set up maintenance, repair and overhauling services facility and a flying training institute at Baramati, Maharashtra.

The company also plans to expand into heli-charter services with Mumbai as its base. Aviation companies plan to expand into heli-taxi, charter and heli-tourism services as the sector is underserviced and with the companies expanding into nearby cities it is a lucrative business proposition.

The civil aviation ministry plans to develop heliports in Mumbai, which is under consideration.
