Vodafone Idea gains on talk of govt considering fresh relief
Vodafone Idea shares rose up to 4.5% after reports said the DoT has proposed a two-year extension on statutory payments to the PMO. With AGR dues of ₹83,400 crore and total liabilities near ₹2 trillion, Vi's survival depends on relief and fresh funding. Analysts warn its collapse could shrink India's telecom market to just Jio and Airtel.
