MUMBAI: Bharti Tele-Ventures Ltd plans to raise up to $600 million from the offshore debt market in the fiscal year starting April, a company spokesman told Reuters on Saturday.
"We are planning to raise around $500 to $600 million through external commercial borrowings or from export credit agencies in 2004-05," the spokesman said.
"(The funds) will be used to refinance earlier loans and to purchase equipment for new projects," he said.
Details of the borrowings were not available.
