Vodafone Idea (Vi) investors would be slightly relieved as the telco’s stock has recovered by almost 7% on Wednesday after dipping 20% on Tuesday. The third-largest telco had decided to give its equity to the government, due to which the investor confidence in the company must have fallen a little. But with the government saying that it isn’t much interested in the business of Vodafone Idea, the stock seems to have recovered quite significantly. At the time of writing, Vodafone Idea stock (listed as IDEA) is trading at Rs 12.60, which is 6.78% in the green as compared to Tuesday’s closing at Rs 11.80.
