Vodafone Idea Unveils Rs 45,000 Crore Growth Plan
Vodafone Idea, a big phone company in India, has a big plan to grow over the next three years.
They are going to spend a lot of money, Rs 45,000 crore, to make their services better.
This money will help them improve their network, make their customers happier, and add more people to their services.
They are also going to expand their 5G internet to more cities.
The company's boss, Abhijit Kishore, said they are now in a better place to invest after some tough times.
They are not going to ask for more money from shareholders but will borrow some and use other ways to get the money they need.
They also said that India's phone prices are low compared to other countries, but people are willing to pay more if the service is good.
Vodafone Idea wants to compete with other big companies like Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel and thinks the market is big enough for all three.
Vodafone Idea plans to invest Rs 45,000 crore over three years to shift from balance sheet stabilisation to growth.
The investment aims to deliver double-digit revenue growth, triple Ebitda, and return to subscriber additions.
The company will focus on improving network quality, customer experience, and coverage depth in 17 priority markets.
Vodafone Idea plans to expand its 5G footprint from 43 to 143 cities and explore the fixed wireless access (FWA) segment.
The company will raise Rs 25,000 crore through debt and Rs 10,000 crore through non-funded facilities, ruling out equity dilution for now.
