The proposed merger, which will create a mega tower company in India, will also require approval from the Telecom Department.
“The scheme shall become effective on the date on which certified a copy of the order of…NCLT is filed with Registrar of Companies upon fulfilment/waiver of other conditions prescribed in the scheme.

Last year, Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Group and Idea Cellular (now Vodafone Idea Ltd) had agreed on the merger that will create the largest mobile tower operator in the world, outside China.
The mega tower company born from the merger will have an estimated 1.63 lakh towers in 22 telecom service areas in the country.
Last month, Bharti and Vodafone Group had named Bimal Dayal as the chief executive officer of the tower company proposed to be formed from the merger of Indus Towers and Bharti Infratel and had said the merger process is in “advanced stage of completion”.
