India’s IL&FS Group has sold its 71% stake in IL&FS Prime Terminals, a state-of-the-art energy storage terminal in the emirate of Fujairah, to VTTI of the Netherlands.

VTTI will now own a 90% stake in the terminal, while the other 10% will remain with the Fujairah government.

The acquisition of the terminal will help VTTI expand its long-established position in the port of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates.

The sale has resolved outstanding debt of up to INR7.57bn ($100m) as well as enabling the release of a corporate guarantee of $110m.

The key lenders to IL&FS Prime Terminals were First Abu Dhabi Bank, National Bank of Fujairah and the State Bank of India – which had outstanding debt of more than $80m – which has been fully repaid.

Chinese road project

The sale of the stake in IL&FS Prime Terminals marks the second major sale of an IL&FS Group company in a foreign location under the government-appointed board.

IL&FS earlier sold its 49% holding in a Chinese road project – the Chongqing Yuhe Expressway – to China Merchants & PingAn Infrastructure Phase 1 Equity Investment Fund for $141m.

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
