India’s Bharti Airtel is expected to increase its stake in its Zambian subsidiary from 79% to 97% following the conclusion of a mandatory offer to buy out minority shareholders, launched in November.

Under local rules, companies are usually delisted if a single shareholder owns more than a 95% stake.
