According to an industry source, Vodafone Idea has received valuation of around Rs 15,000 crore for its around 1.56-lakh-kilometre long telecom fibre assets.
"... the transferor company believes that it would be beneficial to restructure its business by divesting the fibre infrastructure undertaking into a separate legal entity with sharper and dedicated focus on the fibre infrastructure business so as to achieve greater infrastructure sharing, operational efficiencies and cost optimisation resulting in more affordable and reliable telecommunications services to its consumers," the filing said.
The filing said that there would be neither any change in Vodafone Idea's capital structure nor in the Vodafone Towers, pursuant to the sanctioning of the scheme.
