Bharti Airtel, India's second-largest telecom company, is increasing its stake in U.K.-listed Airtel Africa from 62.7% to 79% through a $2.9 billion cashless share-swap deal. It also aims to raise its shareholding in British telecom firm BT Group from 24.9% to just under 30% to gain more economic exposure without a full takeover. These moves reflect Bharti Airtel's strategy to deepen its presence in high-growth markets like Africa and the U.K., with Africa contributing over a quarter of its revenue. The company sees significant value potential, especially with the upcoming IPO of Airtel Mobile Commerce B.V., a key subsidiary of Airtel Africa.
