2:30 pm Deal snapped: Telecom
major Bharti Airtel has called off its plans to acquire business and assets of
Mumbai based Loop Mobile, for about Rs 700 crore, as the Department of Telecom
is yet to clear the deal.
"Loop Mobile and Bharti applied to DoT for approval of
the business transfer in March 2014. The approval for the transaction is still
awaited from the relevant authorities as a result of which Bharti Airtel has
withdrawn from the proposed transaction causing huge loss to the company,"
Loop Mobile spokesperson told PTI.
DoT is yet to give clearance to the deal as it estimates
that Loop Mobile and its sister concern Loop Telecom owe about Rs 808 crore in
spectrum and other charges to the government. Loop Mobile's permit in Mumbai is
expiring on November 29 and the company did not purchase spectrum in February
auction which was mandatory for continuing its operations.
