Vodafone and Vodafone Idea shares rose 1.3% after disappointing Q4 FY25 results, showing subscriber losses and financial pressures. Vodafone Idea lost 1.6 million subscribers, with ARPU at Rs 164, compared to Jio’s 1% growth and Bharti Airtel’s flat ARPU. Financially, the company faces $22.5 billion in government dues, with a $2.3 billion fundraising plan approved.

The Government of India now owns 49% of Vodafone Idea after converting $4.3 billion in dues to equity. The company has around $0.3 billion in bank/financial liabilities and $1.2 billion in cash reserves.
