<\/figure>Kolkata: Bharti Telecom<\/a>, the holding company of Bharti Airtel<\/a>, will sell up to 2.75% stake in the telco to raise around $1 billion (nearly Rs 7,600 crore) through a block deal on Tuesday to become a zero-debt firm and be ready to infuse more funds in the listed entity if required.The buyers are likely to include global investors such as Fidelity, Segantii Capital and Norges Bank as well as local funds such as HDFC Mutual Fund, SBI Mutual Fund and Birla Mutual Fund, said a person familiar with the matter. The stake sale is likely to happen at Rs 558 per share, a 6% discount over the Friday closing price of Rs 593.20. Markets were closed on Monday for Eid.
\u201cBharti Telecom intends to clean up debt at the promoter level, which will clear the path for it to inject more capital towards shareholder support at Airtel<\/a> in the near future,\u201d the person said, indicating the possibility of further fund-raising at Bharti Airtel. The telco had raised Rs 25,000 crore through a rights issue in March 2019.
<\/div><\/div>The Bharti Group did not reply to ET\u2019s queries.
Bharti Telecom owns 38.79% in Airtel, and its stake will fall to around 36% after the block deal. Correspondingly, the combined 58.98% holding of Airtel\u2019s promoter group \u2014 Sunil Mittal-owned entities and Singtel \u2014 will come down to just over 56%. Sunil Mittal\u2019s Bharti Enterprises and Singtel own 50.56% and 49.44%, respectively, in Bharti Telecom.
In addition to Bharti Telecom, the other promoter companies of Bharti Airtel are Indian Continent Investment Ltd, Viridian Ltd and Pastel Ltd. Singtel effectively owns 33.29% in Airtel, while the Mittal family owns 25.69%. GIC of Singapore has a 2.79% stake.
The past few weeks have seen large fundraising by Jio Platforms, the parent company of Bharti Airtel\u2019s biggest rival Reliance Jio.

REDUCING \u2018DEBT OVERHANG\u2019
<\/strong>
Bharti Telecom has a debt of around $1 billion and the stake sale will help it become debt-free. The person quoted earlier said rating agencies and others take the full debt \u2014 including that of the promoter company \u2014 into account while assessing a firm\u2019s financial strength. Hence, the stake sale will help reduce the \u2018debt overhang\u2019 around the telco. Airtel\u2019s consolidated net debt excluding lease obligations stood at Rs 88,251 crore in the quarter ended March.
<\/div><\/div>Bharti Airtel\u2019s shares have been among the outliers in a weak overall market amid the Covid outbreak, rising 31% in the year-to-date compared with a near-26% fall in the Sensex. The stock touched an all-time high of Rs 611.70 on May 20, on the back of strong fourth-quarter results of its India operations. Average revenue per user (ARPU) during the quarter grew 14%, backed by rising 4G user additions and data consumption, said market experts.
\u2018PROFITABLE BY DECEMBER-END\u2019
<\/strong>
Analysts expect Airtel to turn profitable at the consolidated level by December-end after a year of losses.
\u201cBharti remains a secular story for us and we expect the company to show continued ARPU improvement and market share gain going forward,\u201d Bank of America Merrill Lynch said in a recent note.
Rohan Dhamija, a partner at Analysys Mason, said any stake sale by Bharti Telecom would be timely as it would help manage debt more effectively at the promoter level and also give it headroom to go for fresh capital infusion into Airtel.
Bharti Telecom\u2019s upcoming stake sale comes on the heels of the company raising around Rs 3,500 crore via commercial paper that offered 6.16% on average with a three-month maturity.

<\/a><\/div>Airtel's Vittal pushes Trai to fix floor price speedily, hopes for ARPU to touch Rs200 near term<\/h4><\/a><\/div><\/a><\/div>Bharti Airtel may return to making profits after tax by 2020 end: Analysts<\/h4><\/a><\/div><\/div>
REDUCING \u2018DEBT OVERHANG\u2019
<\/strong>
Bharti Telecom has a debt of around $1 billion and the stake sale will help it become debt-free. The person quoted earlier said rating agencies and others take the full debt \u2014 including that of the promoter company \u2014 into account while assessing a firm\u2019s financial strength. Hence, the stake sale will help reduce the \u2018debt overhang\u2019 around the telco. Airtel\u2019s consolidated net debt excluding lease obligations stood at Rs 88,251 crore in the quarter ended March.
<\/div><\/div>Bharti Airtel\u2019s shares have been among the outliers in a weak overall market amid the Covid outbreak, rising 31% in the year-to-date compared with a near-26% fall in the Sensex. The stock touched an all-time high of Rs 611.70 on May 20, on the back of strong fourth-quarter results of its India operations. Average revenue per user (ARPU) during the quarter grew 14%, backed by rising 4G user additions and data consumption, said market experts.
\u2018PROFITABLE BY DECEMBER-END\u2019
<\/strong>
Analysts expect Airtel to turn profitable at the consolidated level by December-end after a year of losses.
\u201cBharti remains a secular story for us and we expect the company to show continued ARPU improvement and market share gain going forward,\u201d Bank of America Merrill Lynch said in a recent note.
Rohan Dhamija, a partner at Analysys Mason, said any stake sale by Bharti Telecom would be timely as it would help manage debt more effectively at the promoter level and also give it headroom to go for fresh capital infusion into Airtel.
Bharti Telecom\u2019s upcoming stake sale comes on the heels of the company raising around Rs 3,500 crore via commercial paper that offered 6.16% on average with a three-month maturity.

<\/a><\/div>Bharti Airtel may return to making profits after tax by 2020 end: Analysts<\/h4><\/a><\/div><\/div>
REDUCING \u2018DEBT OVERHANG\u2019
<\/strong>
Bharti Telecom has a debt of around $1 billion and the stake sale will help it become debt-free. The person quoted earlier said rating agencies and others take the full debt \u2014 including that of the promoter company \u2014 into account while assessing a firm\u2019s financial strength. Hence, the stake sale will help reduce the \u2018debt overhang\u2019 around the telco. Airtel\u2019s consolidated net debt excluding lease obligations stood at Rs 88,251 crore in the quarter ended March.
<\/div><\/div>Bharti Airtel\u2019s shares have been among the outliers in a weak overall market amid the Covid outbreak, rising 31% in the year-to-date compared with a near-26% fall in the Sensex. The stock touched an all-time high of Rs 611.70 on May 20, on the back of strong fourth-quarter results of its India operations. Average revenue per user (ARPU) during the quarter grew 14%, backed by rising 4G user additions and data consumption, said market experts.
\u2018PROFITABLE BY DECEMBER-END\u2019
<\/strong>
Analysts expect Airtel to turn profitable at the consolidated level by December-end after a year of losses.
\u201cBharti remains a secular story for us and we expect the company to show continued ARPU improvement and market share gain going forward,\u201d Bank of America Merrill Lynch said in a recent note.
Rohan Dhamija, a partner at Analysys Mason, said any stake sale by Bharti Telecom would be timely as it would help manage debt more effectively at the promoter level and also give it headroom to go for fresh capital infusion into Airtel.
Bharti Telecom\u2019s upcoming stake sale comes on the heels of the company raising around Rs 3,500 crore via commercial paper that offered 6.16% on average with a three-month maturity.

<\/div><\/div>Bharti Airtel\u2019s shares have been among the outliers in a weak overall market amid the Covid outbreak, rising 31% in the year-to-date compared with a near-26% fall in the Sensex. The stock touched an all-time high of Rs 611.70 on May 20, on the back of strong fourth-quarter results of its India operations. Average revenue per user (ARPU) during the quarter grew 14%, backed by rising 4G user additions and data consumption, said market experts.
\u2018PROFITABLE BY DECEMBER-END\u2019
<\/strong>
Analysts expect Airtel to turn profitable at the consolidated level by December-end after a year of losses.
\u201cBharti remains a secular story for us and we expect the company to show continued ARPU improvement and market share gain going forward,\u201d Bank of America Merrill Lynch said in a recent note.
Rohan Dhamija, a partner at Analysys Mason, said any stake sale by Bharti Telecom would be timely as it would help manage debt more effectively at the promoter level and also give it headroom to go for fresh capital infusion into Airtel.
Bharti Telecom\u2019s upcoming stake sale comes on the heels of the company raising around Rs 3,500 crore via commercial paper that offered 6.16% on average with a three-month maturity.
