It has already bought a land parcel in Pune for $20 million and its total investment could be around $100 million, the reports said.

Morgan Stanley, which had shifted all its Indian real estate investment to Proprium Capital set up   in 2013, now manages its investments in Bengaluru-based Mantri Developers and Pune-based Panchshil, among others.

It is reported that German insurer Allianz is looking to set up a joint venture   in logistics with Indian groups, after having tied up with Shapoorji Pallonji to set up a $500-million fund to invest in office properties in the country, sources said.
