Concerns around Vodafone Idea’s long-term survivability remain, say experts

- Options to support Vodafone Idea's viability include tax breaks and incentivization, infusion of funds by promoters, and a possible merger with BSNL.

Why govt acquired Vodafone Idea shares at a premium ?
- The government decided to allow the conversion of outstanding spectrum auction dues, including deferred dues repayable after the expiry of the moratorium period, into equity shares.
- Vodafone Idea (Vi) has been directed to issue 3,695 crore equity shares at an issue price of ₹10 each within 30 days, even though its shares had closed much lower at ₹6.81 on Friday.
- The motive behind acquiring Vodafone Idea shares at a premium was to provide significant cash flow relief to Vi in the next three years, helping it complete its bank debt raise and avoid making it a PSU.
- The move has raised concerns about the government's increasing stake in Vi and potential regulatory issues arising from government ownership in both BSNL and Vi.
