The Leela Kovalam deal, pegged at about Rs 500 crore (Rs 5 billion), was the 10th in the Asia-list of largest hotel sellers during the one-year period. The Kovalam beach property was sold to Saudi Arabia-based industrialist Ravi Pillai last August.
The other big hotel players in Asia which sold properties at high value include Japan Hotel, LaSalle, Kingdom Holding, Hines and Shui On Group.
Even as Indian entities don't figure anywhere in the top 10 global list vis-a-vis high value real estate deals in the financial year that just gone by, many of them have made it to the Asian hall of fame.
