The deal is the last part of the Queensland government's asset sales plan. It brought in $1.829 billion that will be funnelled into the state's disaster recovery.
Premier Anna Bligh last month announced that the government had agreed to a 99-year lease of the Abbot Point Coal Terminal to Mundra Port Pty Ltd for a sum above the expected price of $1.5 billion.
Corrs advised SBI on the Australian finance and taxation aspects of the US$1.1 billion financing.
The Corrs team, which worked closely with Amarchand & Mangaldas & Suresh A Shroff & Co on the transaction, was led by partner Robert Ritchie and supported by partner Craig Milner and lawyer Amin Doulai.
Allen & Overy acted for Standard Chartered Bank as lender to Adani Enterprises Ltd , India's biggest coal importer, on the acquisition of the terminal.
