  • Bharti Airtel Boosts Stake in Airtel Africa and BT Group to Expand Overseas Presence
    May 22, 2026, 2:06 AM EDT. Indian telecom giant Bharti Airtel is increasing its stake in U.K.-listed Airtel Africa from 62.7% to 79% through a $2.9 billion share-swap deal, reflecting confidence in Africa's high-growth telecom market. The company also plans to raise its holding in British telecom firm BT Group to just under 30% from 24.9%, enhancing economic exposure without a full takeover. These moves come as overseas markets like the FTSE 100 outperform Indian indices, highlighting Bharti Airtel's strategic push to expand its global footprint. Airtel Africa, which operates in 14 sub-Saharan countries, contributes over a quarter of Bharti's consolidated revenue, underscoring the group's focus on international growth.
