São Paulo, Brazil, and Abu Dhabi, UAE – 2^nd June 2026: AD Ports Group (ADX: ADPORTS), a leading global enabler of trade, industry, and logistics solutions, today acquired Corredor Logística e Infraestrutura (CLI), Brazil’s leading independent agri-bulk port terminal operator, entering the South American market with a strategically major expansion transaction.

São Paulo-based CLI operates two of Brazil’s most important agri-bulk export terminals under long-term concessions: CLI Sul, Brazil’s leading sugar export terminal and key export terminal for corn and soybeans, located in the Port of Santos; and CLI Norte, another key grains gateway at the Port of Itaqui, which is part of the Brazilian ‘Arc of the North’, an essential geographical region encompassing the Amazon basin that is a pivotal logistics hub and significant emerging corridor for agriculture exports.

In 2025, ports and terminals in northern Brazil recorded the fastest growth in the country, reinforcing the strategic role of the “Arc of the North’ corridor in reshaping the nation’s logistics map.

The two terminals play a key role in connecting the producing regions of Brazil, the world’s leading sugar exporter and one of the largest grain exporters, to the world.

AD Ports Group agreed to acquire CLI from joint owners Macquarie Asset Management, and IG4 Capital. CLI owns 100% of CLI Norte, which operates a terminal at the Port of Itaqui, and 80% of CLI Sul, which operates a terminal at the Port of Santos.

The transaction, which is expected to be completed in the second half of the year subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory and antitrust approval, was conducted at an enterprise value of AED 3.1 billion (USD 835 million).

It has also been agreed that CLI’s existing senior management team will remain in place to continue running the company.

The CLI acquisition represents a transformative step for AD Ports Group, positioning it as one of South America’s leading independent agri-bulk terminal operators, with strategic access to a vast new number of opportunities for the Group’s associated businesses of maritime and shipping, logistics, economic cities, and digital services.

Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Managing Director & Group CEO of AD Ports Group, said: “The purchase of CLI is a game changer for AD Ports Group. The transaction extends our Group’s international reach for the first time into Latin America, and deepens our growing agrifoods activities, one of our core verticals. Under the wise guidance of our leadership in the United Arab Emirates, AD Ports Group is committed to enabling trade in one of the world’s most-important, fastest-growing agricultural commodities markets, which will not only benefit the Group’s global clients, including those in Brazil, but also strengthen the AD Ports Group global network.”

Brazil supports AD Ports Group’s geographic expansion as well as the Group’s plan to develop a major new East-West trade spoke linking South America’s largest economy to the Indian Subcontinent, East Africa and Southeast Asia. The UAE is in advanced negotiations with Mercosur, the South American trading bloc that includes Brazil, to establish a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement. Emirati investments in Brazil are estimated to be approximately USD 5 billion in total, according to the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The two countries maintain a highly active strategic partnership, having signed a Double Taxation Agreement and eliminated various tax and investment barriers to boost bilateral business.

Fernando Lohmann, Head of Macquarie Asset Management in Brazil, said: “Brazil’s agricultural export sector continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience, reinforcing the country’s position as one of the world’s leading suppliers of agricultural commodities. As a long-term investor in the country, Macquarie remains committed to acting as a responsible custodian of essential infrastructure assets that help drive economic development, improve connectivity and support Brazil’s role in global trade and we believe AD Ports Group is ideally positioned to support CLI’s next phase of growth.”

Paulo Todescan L. Mattos, Co-Founder, Managing Partner, and CEO of IG4 Capital, said: Since becoming shareholders in CLI, our focus has been on strengthening the company’s operational capabilities, expanding its strategic footprint, and positioning the platform to capture the long-term growth of Brazil’s agri-bulk export sector. We believe AD Ports Group is the right strategic owner to build on this foundation, bringing global trade expertise, infrastructure capabilities, and a long-term vision that will support CLI’s continued growth and development.”

The purchase of CLI gives AD Ports Group an entry point into Latin America, and a platform for further regional expansion. Moreover, the agrifood sector is a priority vertical in the Group’s intelligent internationalisation expansion strategy, with several key investments made in that space recently.

In December 2025, the Group’s Karachi Gateway Multipurpose Terminal Ltd. (KGTML) and the Pakistan unit of global merchant and agricultural goods processor Louis Dreyfus Company signed a long-term agreement to develop a clean bulk handling and storage facility for agricultural goods at Karachi Port. In January 2025, the Group agreed to invest about USD 30 million in the greenfield Sarzha Grain Terminal on the Caspian Sea at Kuryk Port in Kazakhstan and earlier this year, the Group secured a 30-year concession to operate the Aqaba multipurpose port in Jordan, which is a key player in agri-bulk in the Middle East with over 3 million tonnes of grains handled annually. Moreover, Noatum Ports’ Spanish operations are already significantly involved in agri-bulk with the Tarragona and Sagunto terminals handling around 2 million tonnes of grain imports annually and with an additional investment of AED 90 million (EUR 21 million) announced recently for modernising existing facilities at the Tarragona terminal.

In 2025, CLI handled a combined 17 million tonnes of agri-bulk cargo and delivered a revenue of AED 654 million (USD 178 million), generating an EBITDA of AED 360 million (USD 98 million).

CLI operates one of Brazil’s few large-scale, agri-bulk port platforms, strategically located along export corridors and ports. The ports of Santos and Itaqui are structurally constrained, particularly in Santos, where limited expansion capacity and chronic congestion are expected to underpin long-term utilisation and pricing resilience.

Long-term demand for the Group’s Brazilian terminals is also supported by Brazil’s global leadership and the strategic importance of the country’s grain and sugar exports. Brazil is the world’s largest sugar exporters, accounting for 40-50% of total global sugar exports, according to industry figures, and a leader in soybeans, coffee, and corn.

The purchase of CLI is AD Ports Group’s largest acquisition to date following the Group’s AED 2.65 billion (USD 720 million) purchase of Spain’s Noatum in 2023, and its AED 1.9 billion (USD 510 million) purchase of a 51% stake in Dubai-based Global Feeder Shipping (GFS) in early 2024.

For the transaction, AD Ports Group was advised by BTG Pactual, while IG4 and Macquarie Asset Management were advised by Citi.

The rising temperatures of summer often signal one thing. It is time to step away. It is a season that quietly nudges you towards cooler air, open landscapes, and a relaxed pace.

This summer, consider travelling differently. Go quieter. Go further. Seek out places where the maps begin to thin, where the crowds are fewer, and where the experience is defined as much by stillness as by scenery. 

These six destinations offer just that. Clear skies, cooler temperatures, and the kind of space that allows you to truly unwind. 

1. Chopta, Uttarakhand

Chopta is a high‑altitude meadow set amid oak and rhododendron forests, with the Tungnath temple keeping watch above at nearly 3,700 metres.

In summer, the landscape opens up. The snow retreats, the trails dry out, and the whole place takes on the quality of a painting in the process of being made – wildflowers pressing through the green, the sky an almost theatrical blue. Evenings arrive gently here, and the sunsets over the snow-capped peaks have a quality that’s difficult to photograph and impossible to forget.

Getting there: Fly to Dehradun’s Jolly Grant Airport. IndiGo has strong connectivity from most major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata among others, followed by a drive of a few hours through the lower Himalayan foothills.

2. Palampur, Himachal Pradesh

Palampur reveals itself gently- a valley layered with lush tea gardens that ripple in neat, undulating patterns beneath the watchful gaze of the Dhauladhar range. Framed by pine and deodar forests, the air here carries a rare quietude, setting it apart from busier hill towns. Once a tranquil colonial retreat, this quaint Himachali hill station in the Kangra Valley sits at about 6,000 ft and enchants visitors with its velvety tea estates, sprawling paddy fields, hidden forest trails, tumbling streams and waterfalls, and winding countryside lanes. Palampur offers a harmonious blend of nature, heritage, and unhurried charm that unfolds beautifully through every season.

Getting there: IndiGo offers convenient connectivity to Dharamshala airport from Delhi and Chandigarh, with Palampur a scenic drive away.

3. Kalimpong, West Bengal

Kalimpong is a small, self-possessed hill town with Tibetan monasteries, excellent nurseries (it’s one of India’s top exporters of orchids and cacti), and views of the Eastern Himalayan arc that lose nothing in comparison to anywhere else in the region.

The summer weather is agreeable, cool enough to walk comfortably, warm enough to sit outside. The town’s rich culture influenced by Tibetan, Bhutanese, and Nepalese traditions, produces a food scene and a street life that rewards slow exploration. Wander past the Thongsa Gompa in the early morning, when the monks are at prayer and the mist is still sitting in the valleys below.

Getting there: Bagdogra International Airport is the gateway. IndiGo flies there from metro cities like Bengaluru, Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Chennai, with Kalimpong a couple of hours’ drive through the hills.

4. Yercaud, Tamil Nadu

Sitting in the Shevaroy Hills at about 1,500 metres, Yercaud offers cool air, coffee and pepper plantations, a lake, and rolling views.

There’s something endearing about its modesty. The botanical garden is a must-visit for nature lovers; the viewpoints (Lady’s Seat, Pagoda Point) are scenic without requiring a two-hour queue. Families and couples who rent a cottage and simply settle in for a few days – reading, eating well, walking through the plantations in the early morning – tend to leave wondering why they don’t come back more often.

Getting there: Salem Airport is the closest; IndiGo runs frequent flights from Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad, with Yercaud just a short scenic drive away.

5. Wayanad, Kerala

Set in the northern reaches of the Western Ghats at elevations between 700 and 2,100 metres, Wayanad is a landscape of biological extravagance: dense forest, cascading waterfalls, wildlife corridors shared with elephants and leopards, and plantation highlands that smell like coffee and rain-wet earth.

In summer, before the monsoon arrives, Wayanad is at its most accessible and least crowded. Chembra Peak, the Edakkal Caves, the Banasura Sagar reservoir offer a sense of scale and discovery.

The eco-resorts and homestays here are worth exploring, run by families who have been farming these hills for generations. That hospitality is itself a reason to come.

Getting there: Wayanad is a drive of a couple of hours from the Kozhikode airport through scenery worth slowing down for. IndiGo connects Kozhikode to Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Mumbai.

6. Ziro Valley, Arunachal Pradesh

Ziro Valley is broad and green, floored with paddy fields that have been tended by the Apatani people for centuries, and ringed by pine-covered hills.

The Apatani’s agricultural tradition is so sophisticated that their land management practices have been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage tentative site. The villages, with their bamboo houses and community structures, are living heritage in the truest sense, actively inhabited and maintained.

In summer, the paddy is a rich, saturated green. The pace of life is slow, and the music festival held in the valley each year has developed a cult following among those who travel for that excellent mix of vibrant live music and jaw-dropping scenery.

Getting there: IndiGo operates flights from Delhi and Kolkata to Donyi Polo Airport in Itanagar, from where Ziro is reached via a picturesque drive through the Arunachal foothills.

This summer, step beyond the familiar. There are destinations waiting with cooler air, open skies, and the promise of a different kind of escape.

For discerning traveller, the resort offers an experience of stillness, indulgence and beautifully unhurried island living

 

June 6: As luxury travellers increasingly seek privacy, presence and experiences with emotional depth, OZEN LIFE MAADHOO emerges as a rare kind of escape, one where time slows, the senses awaken, and every detail is designed for a more meaningful kind of indulgence in the Maldives.

Luxury today is no longer defined by excess alone, but by the freedom to experience a destination more deeply, more privately, and at one’s own pace. For affluent Indian travellers who increasingly value immersive escapes over hurried itineraries, slow travel has become the new marker of sophistication. At OZEN LIFE MAADHOO, set within the serene beauty of South Malé Atoll, this philosophy unfolds naturally through expansive ocean views, intuitive service, and a sense of calm that begins the moment one arrives on the island.

At the heart of the experience is the resort’s signature INDULGENCE™ Plan, a thoughtfully crafted concept that allows guests to surrender to the pleasures of island life without interruption. Days begin with leisurely Champagne breakfasts at THE PALMS and unfold into a choice of richly layered experiences; snorkelling in crystalline waters, restorative rituals at ELE | NA Elements of Nature Spa, tranquil moments in a private villa, or sunset voyages across the Indian Ocean. Dining is integral to the rhythm of the stay, from refined Far Eastern flavours at TRADITION PEKING and soulful heritage cuisine at TRADITION INDOCEYLON to reimagined Maldivian expressions at LONU. At M6m, the resort’s iconic underwater restaurant, contemporary seafood is served against a mesmerising panorama of marine life, transforming dinner into theatre.

“The most meaningful luxury today is the luxury of feeling completely present,” says Mei P. Pun, General Manager of OZEN LIFE MAADHOO. “We are seeing a growing desire among travellers for journeys that restore, inspire and allow space for genuine connection. At OZEN LIFE MAADHOO, that sense of ease is woven into the island itself—through immersive dining, intuitive wellness, ocean-led experiences and the rare pleasure of unhurried time.”

The villas at OZEN LIFE MAADHOO are designed as sanctuaries of quiet refinement, where architecture and landscape exist in seamless conversation. The beachfront Earth Villas are nestled within tropical gardens, while the overwater Wind Villas open onto uninterrupted Indian Ocean views and expansive private decks above the lagoon. For families or guests seeking greater seclusion, the Earth Pool Pavilion and THE OZEN RESIDENCE offer exceptional privacy, generous proportions and an effortless sense of exclusivity.

At OZEN LIFE MAADHOO, slow luxury is not a trend statement, but an elegant way of experiencing the Maldives—defined by space, beauty, privacy and the freedom to linger. For the modern Indian traveller seeking a journey that feels both indulgent and deeply personal, the resort offers not simply a holiday, but a return to life’s most exquisite pace.

Where time softens, the ocean shimmers, and every moment is crafted to be savoured.

As Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME) expand across India and into global markets, business travel is no longer just an operational requirement but has become a key business enabler. With teams travelling more frequently than before, companies are increasingly adopting structured corporate travel programmes that offer greater flexibility, better cost control, and smoother travel experiences for employees on the move.

Here are five priorities shaping how SMEs approach corporate travel today:

1. Better Control Over Travel Spend

For SMEs, managing travel costs can be challenging, especially when travel costs fluctuate constantly. Structured corporate travel programme help businesses gain better visibility and control through preferential fares, and centralised bookings. Rather than managing bookings across multiple platforms, companies can streamline travel through a single system, making it easier to monitor expenses and optimise budgets.

1. Flexibility When Plans Change

Business plans can change at the last minute, with meetings getting rescheduled or extended, requiring quick adjustments to travel plans. As a result, SMEs are prioritising airline programmes that offer flexible booking options, and simpler modifications. Greater flexibility helps teams to stay agile without worrying about high modification costs or lengthy processes.

1. Simplifying Corporate Travel Operations

Unlike large businesses, many SMEs operate without dedicated travel teams. Structured travel programmes in place reduces the operational burden by streamlining approvals, reporting, and traveller management processes, enabling businesses to manage employee travel more efficiently.

1. Better Travel Experiences for Employees

Business travel is no longer solely about reaching a destination. Comfort, convenience and efficiency now play an increasingly important role in employee experience. Travellers value smoother airport experiences, priority services and added rewards that make travel more seamless and less stressful.

1. More Benefits Beyond the Fare

Today’s SMEs are looking beyond ticket prices alone and focusing on long-term value. Loyalty rewards, dedicated account support, and added travel benefits are increasingly influencing how business choose corporate travel programmes.

As demand for structured travel solutions grows among SMEs, airlines are evolving how they support business travellers. For example, Malaysia Airlines’ MHcorporate programme, offers tailored benefits and enhanced privileges designed to simplify and enhance business travel experience for both companies and employees. For growing businesses, the right travel program can help balance cost, flexibility and employee experience more effectively.
