Reliance Communications hopes to be able to shake off its $7 billion debt burden within three years, according to its chairman.

Speaking to investors, chairman Anil Ambani said the company planned to remove its estimated 330 billion rupee ($7.38 billion) worth of debt through a combination of strategic and financial initiatives, the Business Standard said.

He said the company is meeting strong interest in its plans to sell a 26% stake as an equity raising method.

Etisalat has long been reported in being interested in acquiring such a stake, but the company just made a bid http://www.telecomasia.net/content/etisalat-makes-tilt-zain of up to $12 billion to acquire a controlling stake in Kuwait's Zain.

RCom's debt burden is expected to be the reason behind the collapse of the $9 billion merger between its tower arm and GTL Infrastructure.
