The sale happened following new norms issued by government that bars a telecom operator from holding any kind of stake in competition under unified licences. Following the exit of British giant, the shares of Bharti Airtel hit a near-four-year high of Rs 435 on the NSE on Friday.

Vodafone had acquired stake in Bharti Airtel under previous licensing regime, Unified Access Service Licence (UASL) under which telecom companies were permitted to hold up to 9.9 per cent stake in other firms.
