Airtel pays INR 8,815 crores to DoT to clear liabilities for spectrum acquisition in 2015
By MYBRANDBOOK
Bharti Airtel (“Airtel”) has paid INR 8,815 crores to the Department of Telecom (Government of India) towards part prepayment of deferred liabilities pertaining to spectrum acquired in auction of year 2015, the company said in a statement.
The prepayment is for installments due in FY 2027 and FY 2028.
Over the last four months, Airtel has cleared INR 24,334 crores of its deferred spectrum liabilities much ahead of scheduled maturities. These liabilities carried an interest rate of 10% and have been paid off through a combination of strong free cash generated by business, equity proceeds and significantly lower cost debt of similar tenor.
Airtel continues to focus on financial flexibility via its capital structure including optimising cost of financing and capitalising on all opportunities of significant interest saves like this prepayment.
