The proposed transaction will be carried out by Indian Continent Investment, an entity for promotional group. Sharing sales comprises a maximum of 50 million shares, which are good for around 0.8% of the total stock of the company, according to the report.
The floor price for the block deal is set at RS 1,862 per share, which is a discount of 3.15% for the last closing price of Bharti Airtel. Based on these prices, the total deal size could go to RS 9,310 Crore, making it one of the larger secondary deals on the Indian market this year.
Jefferies India and JPMorgan India have been appointed as joint placement agents for the deal. With the Block Deal route, large shareholders can sell interests in listed companies through a single transaction without significantly influencing the share price.
The stock of Bharti Airtel is one of the better artists in the telecom sector in the past year, supported by tariff increases, strong additions of subscribers in the premium segment and an increase in the average turnover per user (ARPU). However, the announcement of the block deal can put some pressure on the stock in the short term.
The company has not yet issued an official statement about the deal. However, blocking deals of this nature are usually used by promotion groups or large institutional investors to earn part of their business, sometimes to balance new companies or again, in June 2025, the promoter and promotor group that had around 55.2% interest in Bharti Airtel. The planned sale would somewhat bring down their interest, but the company will continue to retain. The deal is expected to attract strong institutional importance, especially from investors with only long alone, given the strong basic principles and consistent operational performance of the company.
