Bharti Hexacom has secured approval from the majority of its shareholders at the 30th annual general meeting (AGM) to sell mobile towers worth ₹1,134 crore to its sister concern. As per news reports, the Bharti Airtel group stated, "to approve material related party transactions with Indus Towers Limited, a related party" has been approved with 88.28 per cent votes at the AGM.
As per news reports, despite the majority approval, state-owned Telecom Consultants of India (TCIL), which holds a 15 per cent stake in Bharti Hexacom, opposed the deal, citing valuation concerns. TCIL later requested that the process be restarted to address its requirements. Additionally, around 2.5 per cent of public non-institutional shareholders also voted against the proposal.
As per the postal ballot notice dated 14 February, the sale of towers to Indus Towers had been agreed upon for ₹1,134.1 crore. The company confirmed on 9 April that TCIL had sought a fresh process. Nevertheless, the voting outcome published after the 30th AGM reaffirmed that the proposal had been passed by a majority of shareholders.
