Vodafone Plc recently completed its phased disinvestment of Indus Towers, selling its remaining 3% equity stake. The proceeds, worth $101 million, will be used to repay outstanding borrowings secured against its Indian assets. Earlier this year, Vodafone Plc had sold stakes worth ₹15,300 crore, reducing its holdings to 3% from 7% in 2022. The proceeds from these sales may also be used to support Vodafone Idea under its Master Services Agreement.

Earlier this year, Vodafone Idea raised ₹18,000 crore through India’s largest-ever Follow-on Public Offer (FPO). However, the company’s share price has declined by 22% since its FPO price of ₹11 per share, reflecting continued market challenges. The company has halved its stock value from its peak of ₹19, raising questions about its ability to sustain its financial stability.
As a result of the upcoming board meeting, Vodafone Idea has closed its trading window for dealing in company securities. The trading window closure will remain effective from December 5 until December 11, 2024, to comply with regulatory requirements.
Vodafone Idea’s plan to raise ₹2,000 crore through equity issuance comes at a pivotal moment. While the Indus Towers stake sale provides liquidity, market performance and fundraising success will determine the company’s financial trajectory. Investors are keenly watching Vodafone Idea share price for further developments.
