Billionaire Mukesh Ambani stepped in to bail out younger brother Anil Ambani’s debt-ridden Reliance Communications by acquiring spectrum, tower, optical fiber network and other wireless assets.
While the two companies did not disclose the deal size, banking sources pegged the transaction value at Rs 24,000-25,000 crore.
The announcement comes just two days after Reliance Communications – promoted by Anil Ambani – disclosed a new deal with the lenders under which nearly Rs 40,000 crore will be raised through sale of assets, averting an imminent takeover by the 35 local and foreign banks.
The mega deal also coincides with the 85th birth anniversary of Reliance founder Dhirubhai Ambani.
