Recently, Vodafone said it is open to exploring opportunities for sale of stake in Indian mobile tower firm Indus Towers – which is company’s joint venture with Bharti Airtel and Idea Cellular.
If the plan fructifies, it is expected to create more value for the group. Vodafone India has a net debt of USD 8.2 billion.
Bharti Airtel’s mobile tower arm Bharti Infratel and Vodafone hold 42 percent each in India’s largest mobile tower firm Indus Towers and the rest is held by Idea Cellular.
Bharti Infratel is looking to acquire partial or full stake in Indus Towers.
