The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has approved the proposed sale of the tower division of Reliance Infratel Limited to Brookfield Infrastructure Group, a company statement said in Mumbai on Thursday.

"The Competition Commission of India has approved the proposed transaction involving the sale of the Tower Division of Reliance Infratel Limited, a subsidiary of Reliance Communications Ltd., which is to be carried out pursuant to a demerger of the tower division to Towercom Infrastructure Private Limited (Towerco)," the statement said.

The company has already filed an application with the National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai Bench, for approval of the said scheme of arrangement.
