Aegis Logistics in Advanced Talks to Acquire UAE's Tristar for $1.5 Billion
Aegis Logistics, an Indian oil and gas logistics company, is in advanced talks to acquire UAE-based Tristar, valued at $1.5 billion. Tristar, the largest privately owned liquid logistics firm in West Asia, operates across 30 countries and serves major clients like ADNOC and Total SA. The deal, potentially one of the industry's largest consolidations amid Iran-US tensions, is being financed through discussions with European and Indian lenders. Both companies are negotiating exclusively to complement Aegis's expansion plans.
