Bharti Infratel awaits SEBI approval to go ahead with Rs 5,000 crore IPO

11 Oct 2012 Evaluate

Bharti Infratel, the mobile phone tower arm of Bharti Airtel, is awaiting the Securities and Exchange Board of India's (SEBI) approval to go ahead with its Initial Public Offer (IPO) in this year itself. The funds from the IPO will be used for the capital outlay requirement by the telecom tower industry.

The company is planning to sell 188.9 million shares, which will include fresh issue of 146.23 million shares and sale of 42.67 million shares by four private equity investors, namely, Temasek Holding, Goldman Sachs, Anadale and Nomura, which translates into a 7% fresh issue in the IPO. However, Bharti Infratel would retain a little over three-fourths of the issue proceeds while one-fourth will be distributed among the PEs.

The company had already filed papers for an IPO with the market regulator in September to raise about Rs 5,000 crore and thereby to dilute 10% equity through the proposed share issue, which will mark Bharti Group's return to the capital market after a gap of 10 years.

The draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) filed with SEBI states that the company has a fund requirement of about Rs 2,994 crore. Besides general corporate expenses, the company has set aside investments of Rs 1,086.56 crore for new towers, Rs 1,214.08 crore to upgrade and replace existing towers and Rs 693.36 crore for green initiatives at tower sites.
