Impact on Ownership Structure

Following the preferential allotment, Nokia and Ericsson will hold 1.5% and 0.9% stakes in Vodafone Idea, respectively. This issuance reduces the combined stake owned by promoters Aditya Birla Group and Vodafone Plc to 37.3%, while the Centre holds 23.2%, and the public holds 37.1%.

Addressing Financial Challenges

Vodafone Idea has been grappling with financial difficulties, including rising losses and increased interest and financing costs. The company reported a net loss of ₹7,675 crore for the March quarter, an increase from ₹6,418.9 crore in the same period last year.

The preferential share issue aims to ease vendor concerns over pending payments and secure support for expanding 4G coverage and rolling out 5G services.

Fundraising Efforts

With this equity issuance, Vodafone Idea has raised ₹24,000 crore of equity. This includes the conversion of 1,440 optionally convertible debentures (OCDs) by ATC India in March 2024, a follow-on public offer (FPO) in April 2024, and a preferential issue to promoters in May 2024. The company is also in discussions with lenders to secure ₹25,000 crore in debt funding as part of its fundraising roadmap.
