NEW DELHI, Dec 3: After hitting 52-week high in previous session, shares of Bharti Airtel on Tuesday fell over 1 per cent after Moody’s said AGR dues are credit negative for the telecom operator.
The stock was trading 1.32 per cent down to Rs 452.50 on the BSE.
On the NSE, the stock declined 1.46 per cent to Rs 451.90.
