Reliance Infrastructure (RInfra) on Wednesday said it has completed the Rs 188 billion deal for sale of its Mumbai energy business to Adani Transmission, which will help it pare debt by two-thirds to Rs 75 billion.

Ambani said the deal will help cut the company's overall debt to Rs 75 billion from the earlier Rs 220 billion and also added that it is planning to be a zero debt company by next year.
