Tata Teleservices is said to be in talks with several firms about spining off its mobile phone towers into a separate unit, part or all of which could then be sold. As per media guesses (reported by Economic Times), Singapore state investor Temasek Holdings and wireless tower operator Crown Castle International are in talks to buy close to 15 per cent in the mobile phone towers business of Tata Teleservices Ltd.
The industry analysts valued the tower business at up to $1 billion. Tata Teleservices has more than 5,000 mobile phone towers. Tata Teleservices, along with subsidiary Tata Teleservices (Maharashtra) Ltd, has more than 15.5 million subscribers in India.
Reliance Communications Ltd had also said it would spin off its towers business into a separate unit, and leading mobile services provider Bharti Airtel Ltd has said it would do the same. Newspapers have indicated American Tower Corp, as well as private equity firms including Blackstone, Carlyle and Temasek were interested in Reliance Communications' towers unit.
