Vodafone Idea Share Price in Focus Amid AGR Dues and Govt Talks

On June 4, 2025, Vodafone Idea share price fell for the 2nd consecutive day, declining by 1.33% in early trade to ₹6.68 on the NSE. This follows a 4% drop on Tuesday, when the stock closed at ₹6.77. 

However, as of 3:15 PM IST on the same day, Vodafone Idea share price reversed its early losses and was trading higher at ₹6.89, up ₹0.12 or 1.77% for the day. The stock opened at ₹6.77, reached a high of ₹6.94, and touched a low of ₹6.65 during the session. 

Talks with the Government on AGR Dues

The company is actively in discussions with the central government to seek relief on its ₹30,000 crore Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) dues. CEO Akshaya Moondra said that these talks are crucial, as lenders need clarity on dues before offering any debt support.

Funding and Financial Pressure

Vodafone Idea is in talks with banks to raise funds for future growth. However, the firm’s financial condition remains weak, worsened by the Supreme Court's recent refusal to offer relief on AGR dues.

ARPU and Tariff Concerns

Moondra emphasised that India's low Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) and cheap data plans make the sector financially unsustainable. He suggested that heavier data users should be charged more to make telecom investments viable.

Subscriber Losses

TRAI data shows that Vodafone Idea lost 6.47 lakh users in April, bringing its total subscriber base down to 20.47 crore. The company fears it might not survive beyond FY26 without urgent government help.

Fundraising Plans

Despite reducing its Q4 FY25 net loss to ₹7,166.1 crore, Vodafone Idea is still heavily dependent on outside funding. The board has approved a ₹20,000 crore fundraising plan, pending shareholder and regulatory nods.
