Vodafone Idea Share Price Surge Over 7% Amid Weak Market Conditions

Vodafone Idea's stock experienced over a 7% increase, reaching ₹15.13 on the NSE during Tuesday's intra-day trading.  

This rise occurred despite a generally weak market, attributed to reports of the company nearing the final stages of securing debt funding from a consortium of public sector banks led by the State Bank of India (SBIN), as per The Business Standard news report. 

Debt Funding Developments 

As per the reports, Vodafone Idea is close to finalising debt funding with a consortium of public sector banks led by SBI. The bank is prepared to release funds once other lenders approve their portions.  

Vodafone Idea has already raised an initial ₹6,400 crore, including ₹1,183 crore from warrant proceeds issued to the Aditya Birla Group, with the remainder from foreign lenders and private Indian banks. 

Business Performance and Outlook 

In Q1FY27, Vodafone Idea's revenue increased by 6% year-on-year to ₹11,689 crore. Cash EBITDA grew by 13.5% to ₹2,475 crore.  

The subscriber base rose to 193.1 million, marking the first quarter of positive net subscriber additions since the merger.  

The company reported a consistent rise in customer ARPU for 20 consecutive quarters, driven by premiumisation and an improved 4G/5G subscriber mix.
