In past one month, the stock of Reliance Communications (RCom) appreciated by three-fold from Rs 12.36 to Rs 36 today. RCom on Thursday, December 28, 2017 announced it has signed definitive binding agreements with Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (RJio) for sale of wireless spectrum, tower, fibre and Media Convergence Node (MCN) assets.
The announcement comes just two days after RCom disclosed a new deal with the lenders under which nearly Rs 40,000 crore will be raised through sale of assets, averting an imminent takeover by the 35 local and foreign banks.
The deal will bring an immediate relief to RCom, which is reeling under Rs 45,000 crore debt, and the company hopes to use the entire proceeds to pare its debt.
