Nagpurians have a reason to cheer. Adding
new dimension to the development saga, Mumbai-based Topworth Group of Companies has announced
setting up of an air cargo business hub here by early next year.
The company is set to
foray into air cargo business in association with a US firm with an
investment of $100 million. After getting the NOC from the aviation
ministry, Topworth Group of
Companies along with Avicore LLC has formed a joint venture —
Avicore Aviation — and expects to record a revenue of Rs 500 crore
in the first year of operation. “We propose to start by March next year with two leased
aircraft and Nagpur as hub,” Topworth chairman Abhay Lodha said. TNN

Nagpur: Avicore LLC is promoted by three NRIs and invests
mainly in the aviation sector. Abhay Lodha said the joint venture, in
which Topworth Group has 51%
stake, has initiated talks with a couple of airlines for having two
Boeing 737s on lease and hoped that these will be available by
February-March next year. Avicore Aviation will cater to the domestic needs
initially and has plans to fly overseas by December next year.
The company also plans
to have three more Boeing 737s on lease by July next year, Lodha said.
“There is great
scope for air cargo business in the country and the need for dedicated
cargo airline is increasing each passing day with the boom
particularly in the retail sector. Since the number of service
providers is limited, we will be able to cash in on escalating
demand,” he said.SiddhantGrace Realities(I) Pvt. Ltd.
