Bharti Airtel Limited has issued final reminder notices to partly paid-up equity shareholders as the first and final call payment period concludes on March 16, 2026. The telecommunications company published advertisements in Business Standard (English and Hindi) newspapers, emphasizing the urgency for eligible shareholders to complete their payments.

Call Payment Details

The company has structured the final call payment with specific terms for eligible shareholders:

Regulatory Compliance and Stock Exchange Communication

Bharti Airtel Limited has maintained comprehensive communication with stock exchanges regarding the final call process. The company submitted newspaper advertisements to both National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) and BSE Limited, referencing earlier announcements dated December 18, 2025, January 30, 2026, February 13, 2026, February 14, 2026, March 02, 2026, and March 09, 2026.

Company Secretary & Compliance Officer Rohit Krishan Puri has overseen the regulatory compliance process, ensuring all stakeholders receive proper notification through multiple channels including official correspondence and public advertisements.

Payment Period and Methods

The payment window spans 15 days, running from March 2, 2026, to March 16, 2026. Eligible shareholders can utilize three distinct payment methods:

• Online ASBA: Through Self-Certified Syndicate Banks (SCSBs) websites
• Physical ASBA: By submitting applications to designated SCSB branches
• Online Trading Account: Using 3-in-1 trading-demat-bank accounts where available through brokers

The company has provided comprehensive documentation access through KFin Technologies Limited's website and the company's official portal, including QR codes for convenient access to relevant forms and instructions.

Consequences of Non-Payment

Shareholders who fail to meet the payment deadline face significant penalties. The company will impose 10% annual interest on delayed payments from March 16, 2026, until actual payment completion. Additionally, the board retains authority to apply future dividends toward outstanding call amounts and accrued interest.

Most critically, partly paid-up equity shares, including amounts already paid during application, become liable for forfeiture under the company's Articles of Association and Letter of Offer provisions.

Trading Suspension and Conversion Process

Trading in partly paid-up equity shares has been suspended on stock exchanges since February 6, 2026. Shareholders who complete their payments during the designated period will receive fully paid-up equity shares with ₹5 face value under the existing ISIN INE397D01024.

The conversion process requires completion of regulatory formalities and corporate actions with stock exchanges, expected to conclude within two weeks of the payment period's end. Following this process, fully paid-up shares will resume trading on stock exchanges.

Support and Documentation

KFin Technologies Limited serves as the registrar for this process, providing dedicated support through their toll-free number 1800 309 4001 and email bhartiairtel.rights@kfintech.com . The company has published detailed FAQs and maintains comprehensive documentation on both company and registrar websites.

This represents the final call with no additional calls planned for the issue, making immediate action essential for eligible shareholders to avoid forfeiture of their investments.

Bharti Airtel Limited has announced its participation in investor conferences scheduled for March 17-19, 2026, as part of its regulatory disclosure obligations under SEBI Listing Regulations. The telecommunications major informed stock exchanges about these upcoming engagements through an official communication dated March 12, 2026.

Scheduled Investor Meetings

The company has outlined a comprehensive schedule of investor interactions across two key events during the three-day period:

Regulatory Compliance and Disclosure

The announcement was made in compliance with Regulation 30 of SEBI (Listing Regulations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, which mandates disclosure of material events and information. Bharti Airtel has specifically emphasized that no unpublished price sensitive information pertaining to the company will be disclosed or shared during any of these meetings with analysts and institutional investors.

Meeting Structure and Format

The Jefferies Asia Forum, spanning two days in Hong Kong, will feature both group discussions and one-on-one meetings, providing varied interaction formats for different types of institutional participants. The subsequent Elara Capital organized meeting in Gurugram will focus on group interactions, offering domestic investors an opportunity to engage with company management.

Important Considerations

Bharti Airtel has noted that the schedule of these meetings remains subject to change due to potential exigencies on the part of either investors or the company. This flexibility clause ensures that both parties can accommodate any unforeseen circumstances that might affect participation. The company's proactive disclosure demonstrates its commitment to maintaining transparency with stakeholders while adhering to regulatory requirements for investor communication activities.
