The company said it would evaluate raising money by way of equity or debt or any other convertible instruments in one or more JV of UK's Vodafone Group Plc and India's Aditya Birla Group was unable to arrest subscriber churn even as it commenced pan-India 5G rollouts this quarter covering major markets like Mumbai and Delhi. In December, subscriber base had fallen below the 200 million mark for the first time since its merger in March, it further declined to 198.2 million. SR Batliboy and Associates, the auditors of Vi, cautioned that the operator's financial performance has impacted its ability to generate cash flows that it needs to settle/refinance its liabilities as they fall due. 'The group's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on support from the DoT on the AGR (adjusted gross revenue) matter, successfully arranging funding and generation of cash flow from its operations that it needs to settle its liabilities as they fall due,' the auditor the top management was upbeat about the results, pointing out that the pace of subscriber losses had slowed and the average revenue per user (ARPU) improved. 'Early indicators show improvement across key business metrics and with our ongoing investments, we are well placed to effectively participate in the growth opportunity offered by the Industry,' Akshaya Moondra, chief executive of Vodafone Idea, said in an earnings statement late on commenced 5G services in Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Chandigarh, and Patna this quarter, and plans to extend coverage to all 17 circles where it holds 5G airwaves by August 2025. However, the widespread 5G rollouts by larger rivals Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel have made it challenging for Vi to catch up in terms of market penetration, user adoption, and overall telco's ARPU — a key performance metric — grew marginally to Rs 164 in the March quarter, from Rs 163 in the preceding quarter, as the residual flow-through of headline rate hikes in July 2024 was mostly absorbed by now. Quarterly revenue grew 0.9% quarter-onquarter to Rs 11,014 crore.'This has been a turnaround quarter for us, marked by the highest average daily revenue in the past five years and a significant reduction in subscriber loss,' Moondra said. The telco lost 1.6 million subscribers in the January-March period compared with 5.2 million in the previous three-month net debt reduced substantially to Rs 1.97 lakh crore as on March 31, from Rs 2.29 lakh crore in the previous quarter, as the Government of India converted AGR-related dues to equity share in the company.
