We have some insights to discuss if we observe the Q2FY23 numbers and the KPIs reported for Vodafone Idea (Vi). However, before we delve into the comparison, let's discuss the kind of benefits Vi is offering to users.

Vodafone Idea Market Offerings

As a part of its Hero Unlimited offerings, Vi offers the below benefits to its users.

  • Data Delight: Up to 2 GB of backup data every month.
  • Weekend Data Rollover: Unused daily data gets accumulated and is made available on weekends to be used by users.
  • Binge All Night: Unlimited data every day from 12 am to 6 am.
  • Voice: Voice is truly unlimited with every telco and is no different.

Vi's Voice and Data Volumes Remain Low

Vi Data and Voice Usage

Vodafone idea's Data and Voice usage volumes remain very low compared with the competition. This shows users are not concerned about its lucrative offerings exclusively available with the telco, and the active users are also not consuming much of the telco's core services. As a result, the total voice usage remains approximately 2x-3x less than the peers, and similar is the case with the total data (2G + 3G + 4G) usage on the telco, which is around 2x-3x less than the competition.
