New major risk - Financial position The company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 13% This is considered a major risk.

The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (13% operating cash flow to total debt). Negative equity (-₹358b).

JSW, ST Telemedia Among Firms Reportedly Eyeing Stake in Vodafone Idea Singapore-based ST Telemedia and India's JSW Group have joined a few domestic and global investors that are in discussions with Vodafone Idea Limited (NSEI:IDEA) for acquiring a potential stake, people aware of the matter said. The investor interest in the loss-making and debt-heavy telecom operator comes after it received substantial financial relief from the Centre, which is also its largest shareholder. The talks are exploratory in nature and there is no certainty of a deal happening, the people told ET. Apart from these two, US-based Tillman Global Holdings is also in the fray, as ET reported earlier. Additionally, a few big domestic business houses are also vying for a stake, names of which could not be ascertained."There are a few serious suitors for the company and simultaneous talks are going on with them," one of the people said. The company's management is scheduled to meet institutional investors in Singapore and Hong Kong on March 16 and 17. The government, which holds a nearly 49% stake in Vi, has been seeking a strategic investor who could put in capital and run the company. The Aditya Birla Group and UK's Vodafone Group Plc are its promoters. "As of now, it is not decided if the promoters would sell their stake, or it would be a fresh issuance of equity," said a second person. Queries sent to Vi, JSW Group, ST Telemedia, Aditya Birla Group and Vodafone remained unanswered at the time of going to press on 13 March 2026. Reported Earnings • Jan 28

Tillman Global Holdings Reportedly in Talks to Invest in Vodafone Idea Tillman Global Holdings, LLC (TGH) is in negotiations to invest $4 billion-$6 billion in Vodafone Idea Limited (NSEI:IDEA) (Vi) and take operational control of the cash-strapped and loss-making telecom operator, people aware of the matter said. The investment, however, will happen only if the government provides a comprehensive package covering all the liabilities of Vi, including dues based on adjusted gross revenue (AGR) and spectrum payments. "If the deal happens, TGH will take the promoter status and take control from existing promoters Aditya Birla Group and UK's Vodafone," said one of the people. The Indian government - telco's largest shareholder with a nearly 49% stake - will stay a passive minority investor, he said. Operational Expertise: The New York-based investment firm is not seeking a waiver of all dues, but a restructuring of the liabilities that will give some breathing space to the company, and has submitted a detailed proposal to the government, the people said. "The proposal from TGH would be in conjunction with the dues being resolved. The restructuring package sought by the firm would be conditioned on its investment and its investment would be conditioned on the waiver package," said the person quoted earlier. In case the government provides a relief package to Vi, a deal may be finalised in the coming months. "From the government's perspective, it's not about just providing a waiver, but how can a waiver be given in conjunction with bringing investment and operational expertise," said another person involved in the discussions. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity as the talks are private. Queries sent to TGH, Aditya Birla Group and Vodafone Group Plc remained unanswered at the time of going to press on November 2, 2025. New Risk • Oct 30

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 47% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Negative equity (-₹954b).

Vodafone UK Reportedly May Offer INR 20 Billion Equity Top Up to Vi Vodafone Group Public Limited Company (LSE:VOD) may infuse INR 20.00 billion equity into Vodafone Idea Limited (NSEI:IDEA) (Vi) out of the proceeds of a likely sale of its balance 3.1% holding in Indus Towers Limited (NSEI:INDUSTOWER), said analysts who added that this may be used to clear a portion of the Indian telco's dues to the tower company. Vi may also make more substantial payments to Indus towards cutting its dues after the telco raises debt of INR 230.00 billion - INR 250.00 billion through term loans as planned, they added. After the recent sale of its 18% stake in Indus, UK's Vodafone holds 3.1% of the tower company and is said to be in talks with Bharti Airtel Limited (BSE:532454) to sell these shares, people familiar said. Earlier talks between the two parties got stuck over valuation differences but the latest discussions may yield results, said the people cited above. "An upcoming event catalyst that will now be in focus, in our view, is a potential equity infusion into Vi (up to INR 20.00 billion ballpark) once the balance 3% stake in Indus is sold by its UK promoter, which can be used by Vi to partly clear its past dues to Indus," Citi Research said in a note seen by ET. Vi Chief Executive Officer Akshaya Moondra had told ET that the Vodafone Group remained committed and can invest in the telco by monetising its stake in Indus. Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Plc and Indus Towers did not respond to ET's queries. Price Target Changed • Jul 01

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 3.0% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Negative equity (-₹909b). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (₹243b net loss in 2 years).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 2.0% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Negative equity (-₹744b). Earnings have declined by 2.0% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (52% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (7.7% average weekly change).
