Mumbai: Reliance Communications (RCom), India's second largest telecom operator, Tuesday said it has received approval from its shareholders for the demerger of its optic fibre division and subsequent merger with wholly-owned subsidiary Reliance Infratel. "The demerger will help reduce set-up and operating costs resulting in cost efficiency coupled with greater financial flexibility," the company said in a regulatory statement. Moreover, the segregation of business into providing telecommunications services and infrastructure will enable both the companies to concentrate on their core businesses, the statement added.
