MTNL has gained in early trades on hopes of a 46% stake buy in a Kuwait telecom firm.
The stock opened at Rs 95 and added over 3% to touch a high of Rs 96. The stock is now up just 1% at Rs 94. Around 100,564 shares have changed hands so far on the BSE.
The company might join hands with Delhi-based Vavasi Group to acquire a 46% stake in Kuwait telecom company Zain. The deal would cost approximately $13.7 billion. However, MTNL has not taken any view regarding their participation in the consortium.
