\nThe stock ended at Rs 37.45 on the BSE after gaining 10% (or Rs 38.50) intraday.
\n
The deal boosted sentiment in other Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group<\/a> stocks as well, with Reliance Capital<\/a>, Reliance Infrastructure and Reliance Power<\/a> gaining up to 2-3% intraday.
\n
\nHowever, they pared gains later to end 0.5-1.7% higher.
\n
\nAnalysts said upside in the near term would be limited as most of the positive developments surrounding the company have been priced in.
\n
\n“The Rs 11,000-crore upfront money coming from this deal and receivables from the Aircel deal is positive for the company and the group companies.
\n
\nMost of the good news has been priced in the near term but going forward, the stock will do well as digitisation through telecom will be a strong play in the time to come,” said Sanjiv Bhasin, executive VP-market and corporate affairs at IIFL.

\nThe company has struggled in the mobile business with growth lagging its peers in the past several quarters.
\n
\nThe company’s consolidated net profit fell 80% from the year ago period to Rs 39 crore in the September quarter, while consolidated net sales fell 3.4% to Rs 5,090 crore.
\n
\nAlso, returns in the last few years have been inconsistent. So far in 2016, the stock is down 57.5%. In 2015, the stock gained 10%, but in the year before that, it fell 38.3%. Bloomberg data shows the stock is trading at 25.6 times one-year forward earnings and that 60% of the 20 analysts tracking the stock have a ‘sell’ rating on the stock.

IDFC Securities in a note said the company has kick-started the deleveraging exercise with the Brookfield deal. The focus on creating a better wireless franchise through deals with Aircel and MTS and improving balance sheet<\/a> may help stabilise the company’s business, the brokerage said, maintaining a ‘neutral’ stance with a target price of Rs 44.
\n
\nThe deal is seen as a relief for the debts add led company. This deal, along with Reliance Communications’ previously announced wireless business merger with Aircel will reduce the company’s overall debt by Rs 31,000 crore. The company had approximately Rs 42,000 crore debt at the end of June.
