Singtel on Friday said it has sold about 1.2 per cent of its direct stake in Bharti Airtel for SGD 2 billion (roughly USD 1.5 billion) in sync with its active capital management approach to optimise its asset portfolio and drive shareholder returns.

According to the bulk deal data available on the National Stock Exchange (NSE), Singtel's arm Pastel Ltd offloaded 7.10 crore shares or 1.2 per cent stake in Bharti Airtel. The shares were disposed of at an average price of Rs 1,814.08 apiece, taking the aggregate transaction value to Rs 12,879.96 crore.

Now, Singtel will hold a 28.3 per cent stake in India’s second-largest telco.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
