The SPV will issue shares to Reliance Communications and GTL Infrastructure shareholders, and subsequently seek a stock market listing, the paper said.

Reliance Communications is being advised by JPMorgan and GTL Infrastructure by Standard Chartered, it said.

Officials at Reliance Communications and GTL Infrastructure could not immediately be reached by Reuters for comment.
