Bharti Airtel shares surge 13% as NSDL raises FII limit in company's shares to 100%

On October 27, Airtel reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 763.2 crore for the September quarter of FY21 against a loss of Rs 23,044.90 crore in Q2FY20 and Rs 15,933.1 crore in Q1FY21.

Shares of Bharti Airtel surged almost 13 percent in early trade on October 28 after the National Securities Depository (NSDL) increased the company's foreign ownership limits to 100 percent.

A day after its posted decent quarterly results, the telecom major's shares saw strong buying interest after the NSDL said "Bharti Airtel has received approval for an increase in FII limit up to 100 percent".



According to the NSDL website, the limit was 49 percent and approval for 100 percent foreign limit was pending. CNBC Awaaz was the first to report the notification change.

Experts say now that Bharti Airtel has been able to obtain the FII limit at 100 percent, MSCI is likely to increase weightage in the company.

After MSCI increases weightage, Bharti Airtel shares can see inflows of Rs 15,000-20,000 crore.

Similar to 2020, D-Street is at record high ahead of Budget 2021; will history repeat itself?

  Experts are of the view that a repeat of 2020 or what happened in March might not be possible but some consolidation cannot be ruled out. Back in March when everyone wanted to write-off 2020 from their books, hope and liquidity supported markets and investor sentiment. Nobody thought that after touching a 3-year low in March 2020, benchmark indices would give double-digit returns by the end of the year. The S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty50 rallied by about 15 percent in 2020 and the big outperformance came from the small and midcap stocks. The rally is still continuing in 2021. The S&P BSE Sensex, which climbed Mount 49K, is up over 3 percent while the Nifty50 is up over 4 percent so far in January. Sensex scaling the 49,000-mark and Nifty50 touching 14,500 levels ahead of the Budget 2021 could make anyone cautious about the strength of the rally. Back in January 2020, both Sensex and Nifty touched fresh highs ahead of Budget, and then the market fell like a pack of cards. The ...
