March 26 (Reuters) - India's Bharti Airtel BRTI.NS and its unit Bharti Hexacom BHAX.NS have prepaid 59.85 billion rupees ($698.33 million) to the government, fully clearing "high-cost" liabilities from the 2024 spectrum auctions, the telecom company said on Wednesday.

Airtel, the country's no.2 telecom firm by user base, has been prepaying high-cost spectrum dues that it and other Indian telecom operators owe the government, following years of high-stakes auctions and aggressive bidding for airwaves.

The latest payment has trimmed Airtel's debt pile related to spectrum to 520 billion rupees, bringing down the cost of debt to 7.22%, the company said.

Airtel's early payments now total 666.65 billion rupees ($7.78 billion), it said, adding that it has settled liabilities with interest rates of 10%, 9.75%, and 9.3% about seven years before their average maturity dates.

The latest payment was made for liabilities that carried an interest rate of 8.65%, Airtel said, without specifying when the debt was previously due.

Peer Vodafone Idea VODA.NS owes about 1.42 trillion rupees in spectrum dues as of September 2024.

Another Airtel subsidiary, Network i2i, also redeemed $1 billion in perpetual debt securities - a debt instrument with no fixed maturity date - reducing the company’s outstanding perpetual notes to $479 million, the telecom company said.

Airtel's shares closed 0.5% higher on Wednesday after the announcement.

Corrects typo to say "jumps" in headline

BENGALURU, April 12 (Reuters) - Bharti Hexacom's shares BHAX.NS surged 32.5% in their trading debut on Friday, valuing the Indian telecom operator at 377.50 billion rupees ($4.53 billion).

The stock opened at 755 rupees, compared with its initial public offering price of 570 rupees. Analysts had expected the stock to list at a premium of 10% to 15%.

The benchmark index Nifty 50 .NSEI was down 0.4%, while shares of Bharti Airtel BRTI.NS, India's No.2 telecom operator by subscribers, were down 0.6%.

The billionaire Sunil Mittal-led Bharti Airtel owns 70% of Bharti Hexacom, which is the latest unit of a conglomerate to cash into investor appetite for public offerings as the stocks market hits record highs.

The Tata Group's Tata Technologies TATE.NS and JSW Group's JSW Infrastructure JSWN.NS had strong debuts late last year.

So far this year, 64 Indian companies have gone public, raising $2.31 billion cumulatively, compared with 42 companies raising $170.6 million in the same period last year, according to LSEG data.

Bankers expect the momentum to persist amid rapid economic growth and expectations of political stability.

While Bharti Airtel operates across India, Bharti Hexacom offers mobile, broadband and fixed-line telephone services under the "Airtel" brand in the northwestern state of Rajasthan and some parts of northeastern India.

The 42.75-billion rupee IPO was oversubscribed 29.88 times last week. Government-owned Telecommunications Consultants India sold half of its 30% stake in Bharti Hexacom in the IPO. The company itself did not issue fresh shares.

BENGALURU, April 5 (Reuters) - Indian telecom operator Bharti Hexacom received bids worth 702.51 billion rupees ($8.43 billion) in its initial public offering, outpacing its offer size of 42.75 billion rupees, exchange data showed on Friday.

Investors bid for 1.23 billion shares at a price range of 542 to 570 rupees per share, which was 29.88 times more than the 41.2 million shares offered, data from the National Stock Exchange of India showed.

"Looking at the demand for the IPO, expecting Hexacom to list at a 15% premium is not expecting too much," Arun Kejriwal, founder of Kejriwal Research and Investment Services, told Reuters.

The company, 70% owned by India's No. 2 telecom operator Bharti Airtel BRTI.NS, is set for its market debut on April 12.

India has seen 64 companies raise $2.31 billion cumulatively through IPOs so far in 2024, compared with $170.6 million from 42 offerings in the same period last year, according to LSEG data.

Bankers expect the momentum to persist amid rapid economic growth and expectations of political stability as the general elections start later this month.

Government-owned entity Telecommunications Consultants India offered to sell 75 million shares, representing half of its 30% stake in Bharti Hexacom. It did not issue fresh shares in the IPO.

Bharti Hexacom offers consumer mobile services, fixed-line telephone and broadband services under the brand "Airtel" in the northwestern state of Rajasthan and some parts of northeastern India.
