History
In 2006, GTL Infra was listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE), becoming the first company in India’s shared telecom infrastructure sector to be publicly listed. The following year, GTL Infra launched a rights issue valued at US$83.86 million. In 2010, the company acquired 17,500 towers and 21,000 tenants from Aircel.[5]
GTL Infra was also affected by the cancellation of licenses, as its customer base decreased due to issues faced by Aircel and Maxis, along with the subsequent cancellation of the Right of First Refusal (ROFR) by Aircel. In the subsequent years, GTL Infra undertook debt restructuring efforts.
