Vodafone Idea Limited (VIL), the third-largest telecom operator, has added new users after all. This has happened for the first time in many years, and the reason might be the fresh investments. Vodafone Idea has been pushing capex (capital expenditure) as much as possible to ensure that it can expand high-speed coverage and modernise the existing network infrastructure. According to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) report hihglighting the monthly performance of the telecom operators, Vodafone Idea added 21,927 new users at the end of February 2026.

At this point, Vodafone Idea would want to add new users, whether they are the low paying ones or the high-paying ones, it doesn’t matter.
