The main reason for this surge was a decision made by Bharti Airtel’s board. They approved a payment of ₹401.25 per share for the shares that were already partly paid. This was a one-time payment for a portion of the money owed on the shares.
This payment is for 392 million shares. The deadline for shareholders to make this payment is between March 2nd and March 16th, 2026. Trading in these shares will be paused from February 6th, 2026.
Bharti Airtel plans to use the money collected from this payment to pay off debts and for general business expenses. They believe this will make their finances stronger and help them focus on growing new areas like data centers and home internet.
The company had previously issued these shares through a rights issue in October 2021, raising over ₹5,247 crore. They paused this initial offering because they had enough money saved up due to strong profits and reduced spending on building new networks.
“This strategic payment will streamline Bharti Airtel’s finances, positioning them for sustained growth in key sectors.”
