Bharti Airtel promoters are likely to sell $1 billion worth of shares in the company, CNBC Awaaz has reported. Bharti Telecom will reportedly sell shares via a block deal on May 26.


Sources told Awaaz that the company's promoters may sell nearly 15 crore shares as part of the block deal. JP Morgan is the banker to the deal. The deal is likely to be at a 6 percent discount to the closing price.

With this latest block deal for a 2.75 percent stake sale, the promoter and promoter group shareholding in the telco would come down to 56.23 percent from the current 58.98 percent, as per the information available on the BSE website.
