Indian operator Reliance Communications has received approval from the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading to sell shares in its submarine telecommunications infrastructure network unit. The exchange approved an “eligibility to list” only if certain terms and conditions are met.
The operator, led by Anil Ambani, announced in April 2012 that it is planning a public offering through a Singapore business trust of shares in its submarine cable unit, which includes Flag Telecom and Reliance Globalcom.
According to Reuters, the offering will help Reliance Communications to raise over $1 billion and will also help it to reduce debt, which was $7 billion in March 2012. GTB
