Bethesda, April 06, 2016 -- India Globalization Capital, Inc. (IGC) announces today that it has acquired 51% of M10-Plantation, a company located in Malaysia with expertise in vertical farming, for a consideration of 1,000,000 shares of unregistered IGC common stock comprising a purchase price of $520,000. The acquisition closed, subject to customary closing conditions, on March 31, 2016. The Company will have about 24,289,220 shares outstanding after giving effect to this acquisition. 

Mr. Ram Mukunda, CEO of IGC commented, “This acquisition does three things for us: 1) it gives us access to advanced technology for growing, extraction, storage, and packaging that we can apply in the U.S.; 2) it generates cash flow in the short term; 3) it allows us to create a low cost R&D center for training individuals in advanced growing, green house, and extraction technologies. Our recently acquired management team at Cabaran Ultima will help manage this acquisition.”
