After entering into an agreement to share their infrastructure, GSM mobile companies including Bharti Airtel , Vodafone and Idea Cellular are now exploring the possibility of merging their passive infrastructure to form a mega tower company.
Apart from leveraging on operational efficiency, the merger is aimed at getting a higher valuation for their country-wide mobile infrastructure. The three companies together own more than 70,000 towers across the country.
