Vodafone Idea (Vi): Vodafone Idea may soon shock its customers. Vodafone Idea is the third largest telecom company in the country. Vi may soon increase the rate of its 5G data plans. Till now, companies like Jio and Airtel are also offering 5G service only with those plans which have a minimum recharge of Rs 299 and 2GB daily data is available. Vi is also adopting a similar strategy. At present, Vi’s 5G service is operational only in a few cities and circles, but the company says that by August 2025, it will start 5G in all its major circles.
Will plans above Rs 299 be expensive?
Vi’s management says that the 5G rollout has reduced the pressure on the 4G network and users are getting better 4G speed. The company is currently offering 5G to those users who recharge for Rs 299 or more. In this, unlimited data is available with 300GB high-speed data limit every month. But as the network coverage increases, the company is planning to charge more.
What will happen next?
Vi plans to soon reach 90% of India’s 4G user population. For this, the company will need funds. Vi’s expenditure (capex) is currently high, to maintain which it will need loans from banks. It was seen in the Q4 FY25 results that the company has sharply reduced its bank loans, which is a positive sign.
