Telecom major Bharti Airtel Thursday said its board approved the merger of wholly owned subsidiary Airtel Broadband Services with itself.

The amalgamation will be subject to approvals, including clearances from high courts, if any, the company said in a filing to the BSE.

"the Board of Directors of the company has approved the scheme of amalgamation of Airtel Broadband Services Private Limited (formerly known as Wireless Business Services Private Limited), a wholly owned subsidiary, with the company," it said.

Bharti Airtel recently acquired a 100 percent stake in Wireless Business Services (WBSPL), a company founded by US chipmaker Qualcomm. Subsequent to the acquisition, the company was renamed Airtel Broadband Services.
