ICICI Securities Report

Bharti Airtel Ltd. has announced a new corporate structure wherein digital assets, and infrastructure assets (fiber and tower [via Nettle Infrastructure]) will be pushed up into the parent entity, and telecom business will be pushed down to the wholly-owned subsidiary.

The new structure is aimed at -

  1. bringing all digital assets under one entity and focusing on growing it fast; and
  2. by pushing telecom business at bottom, it will make the entire organisation adjusted gross revenue-tax efficient.

Clearly, the new structure indicates no immediate monetisation plans of digital assets, and rightfully so, as it is yet to exploit the potential from the business.
