Vodafone Idea Got Everything It Needed, What’s Next

Vodafone Idea (Vi), the third-largest telecom operator in India, has got everything it needs from the government. The telecom sector, along with Vodafone Idea, is in a very good position post the announcement of relief measures. Everything right from the adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues to litigation has been taken care of by the government. Vodafone Idea is now in a very good position, and its stock price reflects that.

Before the relief package was announced, Vi’s shares were trading at around Rs 7 on average. It even touched Rs 4 due to the company’s falling financials and unstable business. But after the relief package, Vi’s shares have crossed Rs 11 and are continuously trading around Rs 10 for the last few weeks.

But after receiving everything it needed in the short and medium-term, what would the telco want next?

Vodafone Idea Can Focus on 5G, Increasing ARPU, Broadband, Enterprise Business While Expanding 4G Networks

While the relief measures have kicked in and helped the telco see a glimmer of a bright future, Vi must focus on getting aggressive with its plans to ensure that it never comes into a bad position ever again.

The telco still has millions of customers it can earn continuously from. With increasing the tariffs in the near future, Vi will be able to benefit from the increasing average revenue per user (ARPU). Further, the telco can also focus on developing 5G use-cases, which it is already doing in a pretty big manner. Vi has been testing 5G for multiple things such as smart cities, innovative use cases, enterprise use cases, and healthcare.
