Is Vodafone Idea, India’s third largest telco, worth saving?

Episode 59 Published 2 years, 10 months ago
Description

In February this year, Vodafone Idea gave away a 33% stake to the Indian government and the government converted a part of its dues into equity. Many analysts though think even this cannot save the sinking telco.

Because the company still owes the government $23 billion and banks $1.5 billion. And it also needs $6 billion for an all-India network upgrade to roll out 5G.

Vodafone Idea has too much to deal with—a towering mountain of debt, a ruthless giant of a rival, and the merger with Idea that turned out to be a bad decision.  

In today's episode, we look at the possible outcomes of how the saga of the struggling telco could end.
