Reliance Jio与布鲁克菲尔德(Brookfield)的80亿美元塔楼交易正等待交通部的批准

知情人士表示,在Reliance Jio与Brookfield达成出售其移动网络基站的协议9个月后,印度基础设施领域最大的外商直接投资(FDI)尚未获得所有监管批准。

孟买|新德里:九个月后依赖Jio达成协议布鲁克菲尔德出售其移动网络知情人士表示,这一印度基础设施领域最大的外商直接投资尚未获得所有监管部门的批准。

而电讯管理局()和内政部(MHA)预计很快就会出台,根据引用的消息人士,信实工业(RIL)的债务削减计划已被推迟。信实集团表示,计划在2021年3月之前实现零债务,这笔交易预计将减少80亿美元的债务。

政府消息人士告诉《经济时报》,今年早些时候,MHA已将此事提交给印度证券交易委员会(Sebi),尽管证券市场监管机构去年年底批准了这笔交易。Sebi也在两周前做出了回应。

2019年7月,RIL宣布已与Brookfield达成协议投资在塔基础设施信托中投入2521.5亿卢比(37亿美元)。其余金额(43亿美元)是将从信实的合并账簿中转移的债务。

在转让时,Jio的106,000座塔楼(准备好并正在开发中)价值52.7亿美元(3689亿卢比)。然而,在交易完成时,该公司的估值为80亿美元,因为届时还将有6.8万座高楼建成。

随后,在去年12月向证券交易所发出的通知中,RIL指出,布鲁克菲尔德及其合作伙伴将投资25,215亿卢比用于塔基础设施信托基金发行的单位。加拿大投资者将购买由信托发行的100%的单位,反过来,该信托拥有Reliance Jio Infratel的100%股权,后者是Jio铁塔资产的运营公司。

CCI于2020年1月批准。

周一发送给RIL的邮件直到周二发稿前都没有收到回复。

布鲁克菲尔德拒绝对ET的详细调查问卷发表评论,而DoT和MHA没有回应询问。

据接近该交易的消息人士透露,如果不是到目前为止尚未获得批准,这笔交易可能会在明年1月完成。公平地说,与并购相关的审批往往需要很长时间。例如,交通部花了6个多月的时间才决定布鲁克菲尔德(Brookfield)收购信实通信公司(Reliance Communications)塔楼的提议。那笔交易最终被取消了。

“应该由信实寻求批准。他们正在创建InvITs,只是将这些单元出售给Brookfield,”一位一直关注此事的分析师解释道。“80亿美元(债务解决)将发生,印度银行将偿还。这是印度基础设施领域最大的外商直接投资。奇怪的是,它会一直停滞不前。”

根据规定,在获得批准后,Brookfield还将引入一系列投资者。

印度证券交易委员会的指导方针规定,私募invit至少需要5个非保荐投资者或单位持有人。该工具将上市,但面向机构和高净值个人私下配售,很像上市的不可转换债券。据消息人士称,Brookfield已获得加拿大养老基金不列颠哥伦比亚投资管理公司(bbcc)、沙特阿拉伯公共投资基金和新加坡政府投资公司的承诺,将与他们共同投资InvIT。一位政府消息人士表示,每一位外国投资者的安全审查是推迟的原因之一。

Mumbai | New Delhi: Nine months after Reliance Jio<\/a> entered into an agreement with Brookfield<\/a> to sell its mobile network towers<\/a>, the largest FDI in Indian infrastructure has not yet received all regulatory approvals, said people aware of the matter.

While final approvals from the Department of Telecommunications (
DoT<\/a>) and Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) are expected shortly, as per the sources cited, Reliance Industries' (RIL) debt reduction plans have been delayed. RIL has said it plans to become debt free by March 2021, and this deal is projected to reduce debt by $8 billion.

Government sources tell ET that MHA had referred the matter back to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) earlier this year, even as the stock market regulator had blessed the deal late last year. Sebi in turn has responded two weeks back.
