Vodafone Idea Plans Major Investment
Vodafone Idea, a big phone company in India, is planning to spend a lot of money (₹45,000 crore) over the next three years to improve its services.
The company has been having a tough time, but the government recently helped by freezing some of its big debts.
The CEO, Abhijit Kishore, says they will use the money to make their network better, add more subscribers, and even start offering new services like home internet.
The company's owner, Aditya Birla Group, is also very supportive.
Vodafone Idea wants to compete better with other phone companies and grow its business.
Vodafone Idea plans to invest ₹45,000 crore over the next 3 years for network expansion and new services.
The company aims for double-digit revenue growth, a threefold increase in cash EBITDA, and sustained subscriber additions.
Funding will come from bank loans and non-funded facilities, with no immediate plans for equity infusion.
Investments will focus on network parity, 4G expansion, 5G rollout, and entering the home broadband market.
The company's Q3 net loss narrowed to ₹5,286 crore, with revenue increasing to ₹11,323 crore, but it lost 3.8 million subscribers.
