Singapore Telecommunications Ltd (Singtel) has sold a portion of its shareholding in Bharti Airtel for approximately ₹10,353 crore, marking another significant step in its multi-year capital-recycling strategy. The block deal, executed at ₹2,030 per share, reduces Singtel’s ownership in Airtel to 27.5%, reflecting its continued portfolio optimization amid growing focus on digital infrastructure and next-generation connectivity ventures.

Singapore-based telecom giant Singtel has divested a 1.2% stake in Bharti Airtel through a large block deal worth Rs. 13,221 crore ($1.54 billion), priced at Rs. 1,814 per share. The transaction reduces Singtel’s stake in the Indian telecom major from 29.5% to 28.3%, while still preserving its role as a key strategic investor. Although buyers remain undisclosed, the sale was executed above the floor price and includes a 60-day lock-up period. Bharti Airtel shares dipped following the announcement, though the stock remains among the top Nifty 50 performers of 2025.
