Vi may give government more equity to clear its bills

Vodafone Idea (Vi) CEO Akshaya Moondra discussed the telco's strategy to address government dues, including further conversions into equity and utilizing internal accruals. With obligations towards spectrum and AGR payments, Vi aims to leverage these methods before the moratorium ends in September 2025. Moondra also emphasized the viability of tariff hikes post-elections, highlighting the essential nature of mobile services. Vi is actively planning 5G rollouts, aiming for key city deployments over the next six months.
