The IPO entails solely a sale of 10 crore equity shares by the sole public shareholder, Telecommunications Consultants India, with no new shares being issued, reported Moneycontrol.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) issued an observation letter regarding the company's IPO draft papers on March 11.
In SEBI terminology, the issuance of an observation letter indicates that the company is eligible to launch its IPO within the upcoming one-year timeframe.
Bharti Hexacom provides consumer mobile, fixed-line telephone, and broadband services under the Airtel brand in Rajasthan and the North East.
