During 2020, a subsidiary of the company, together with institutional partners, acquired a 57% ownership interest in IndoStar, an Indian financing company focused on commercial vehicle lending and affordable home finance. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination achieved in stages on May 27, July 8 and 9, 2020. The subsidiary’s previously held investment in IndoStar was remeasured to fair value prior to the acquisition of additional interests. The fair value approximated carrying value and no cumulative gain or loss arising from changes in the fair value of the investment was recognized. Total consideration of $295 million was comprised of an existing equity interest of $276 million and $19 million of cash on hand. Total revenues and net loss that would have been recorded if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the year are $175 million and $37 million, respectively.
Infrastructure
On August 31, 2020, a subsidiary of the company, alongside institutional partners, acquired a 100% interest in an Indian telecom tower operation for a total of approximately $3.4 billion.

Brookfield recorded $7.6 billion of revenue and $635 million of net losses in 2019 from the acquired operations as a result of the acquisitions made during the year. If the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the year, they would have contributed $14.7 billion and $189 million to total revenue and net income, respectively. The difference in our net losses since acquisition date compared to net income had we held our investments since January 1 primarily relate to the timing of acquisitions during the year as those with large contributors to net income were purchased in late 2019. In addition, our post-acquisition margins were reduced from the step-up in inventory costs resulting from purchase price allocations as well as restructuring costs in certain of our acquisitions.
