Quippo Oil and Gas Infrastructure Ltd. is in talks to buy the assets of GOL Offshore Limited (BSE:532786), two people familiar with the development said. GOL Offshore plans to sell some of its assets to meet repayment obligations. In an emailed response, Srei Infrastructure Chairman and Managing Director Hemant Kanoria said, "As a group, we always explore opportunities to grow our businesses across the infrastructure sector- both organically and through acquisitions. However, we do not comment on market speculations or reports suggesting possible transactions involving acquisitions or disposals." GOL Offshore did not reply to an email seeking comment but a company official, one of the two persons mentioned above, said, "Quippo is looking to acquire 5-6 select vessels of GOL Offshore including the Badrinath asset to enhance its portfolio."
