British telecom company Vodafone sold an 18% stake in Indus Towers for €1.7 billion. Most of the proceeds will be used to repay €1.8 billion outstanding bank borrowings secured against its Indian assets. Post-transaction, Vodafone retains a 3.1% share in Indus Towers.
British telecom giant Vodafone announced on Wednesday its sale of an 18% stake in Indus Towers, netting €1.7 billion (approximately Rs 15,300 crore).
