Optical fibre assets valued at Rs 15,000 cr

An industry source said that Vodafone Idea had has received a valuation of around Rs 15,000 crore for its around 1.56 lakh kilometre-long optical fibre assets.

Vodafone Idea wants to restructure its business by divesting the Fibre Infrastructure Undertaking into a separate legal entity so that it will allow the entity to have a sharper and dedicated focus on this segment business. This, in turn, would help it achieve greater infrastructure sharing, operational efficiencies and cost optimization, resulting in more affordable and reliable telecommunications services to its consumers, the company had said.
