RCom strikes Rs 11,000-cr tower deal with Brookfield Infra


Breaking News- Reliance Communications (RCom) today signed binding agreements with Canada-based Brookfield Infrastructure and institutional partners to sell its tower business for an upfront cash payment of Rs 11,000 crore.
RCom will "also receive B Class non-voting shares in the tower company, providing 49 per cent future economic upside from the business based on certain conditions", the company said in a statement.
