Bharti Infratel fixes IPO price at Rs 210 for retail investors, Rs 220 for others

18 Dec 2012 Evaluate

Bharti Airtel’s telecom tower arm, Bharti Infratel, following tepid response from investors, has priced its initial public offering (IPO) near the lower end of the price band. The company has fixed issue price at Rs 220 a share for institutional and high net worth individuals (HNI’s) and Rs 210 a share for retail investors.

Bharti Infratel’s Rs 4,500-crore IPO was subscribed 1.3 times. The price band for the Bharti Infratel’s initial stake sale to the public was between Rs 210 and Rs 240 per share. This would be the second tower company to be listed on the bourses, with GTL Infrastructure being the only other firm. Further, the shares are proposed to be listed on the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange of India (BSE). The tower company intends to use the IPO proceeds to fund its expansion and acquisitions.

Bharti Infratel has more than 34,000 towers in operation, while it holds 42 per cent stake in Indus Towers, which has over one lakh towers in India. However, the proposed IPO will be one of the biggest after the state-run Coal India raised Rs 15,475 crore in October 2010.
