Vodafone Idea’s recent Rs 18,000 crore follow-on public offer (FPO) is seen as a significant step towards revitalizing the telecom sector, potentially curbing subscriber losses for the struggling telco, according to analysts. The FPO’s success could transform Vi’s outlook from uncertain to stable, injecting fresh energy into the industry. Analysts anticipate Vi’s tariff adjustments soon, which could prompt similar moves from competitors like Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio. While Vi’s fundraising may alleviate subscriber erosion, concerns persist, including Vi’s market competitiveness and looming debt repayments. Despite Vi’s challenges, the telecom sector remains optimistic, with prospects for 5G monetization and tariff hikes driving growth opportunities in the long term.
