‘Vodafone Idea's capex plan unlikely to help regain subs; telco faces ₹20,000 crore annual cash shortfall'
NEW DELHI: Vodafone Idea (Vi) planned capital expenditure (CapEx) of ₹50,000-55,000 crore over the next two to three years is unlikely to significantly help the ailing telecom carrier regain subscribers that have migrated to rival Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel 's networks, according to Motilal Oswal . 'Vi continues to lose market share to peers due to lower ARPU translation, given its inferior subscriber mix and elevated subscriber churn,' the brokerage firm said in a report, seen by ETTelecom. 'Despite the likely capex, we believe regaining subscribers would be a tall ask for Vi, given its peers' superior free cash flow generation and deeper pockets,' it added. Motilal Oswal estimated that Vi's capex increased to ₹4,200 crore in Q4FY25, the highest since the merger of Vodafone and Idea Cellular, with the overall FY25 capex rising to ₹9,600 crore. 'Despite equity infusion and acceleration in capex, Vi continued to lose market share to peers. On our estimates, it lost ~130bp in subscriber market share (SMS) and ~155bp in revenue market share (RMS) in FY25, among the three private telcos,' the brokerage said. In the fourth quarter (Q4) of fiscal year 2025, Vi's net loss widened sequentially to ₹7,166 crore, from ₹6,609 crore in Q3FY25. Last week, its board of directors approved raising around ₹20,000 crore more, which is seen as crucial to investing in the expansion of its 4G and 5G networks and arresting subscriber churn. The telecom joint venture between India's Aditya Birla Group and the UK's Vodafone Group Plc has been unable to control subscriber declines despite launching commercial fifth-generation (5G) services in key markets in the January-March 2025 quarter, including Delhi and Mumbai. In the December 2024 quarter, subscriber base had fallen below the 200 million mark for the first time since its merger in 2019. In the March 2025 quarter, it further declined to 198.2 million. 'We believe the company's network investments remain contingent on debt raise, which, in turn, is dependent on continued support/AGR relief from GoI (₹200 bn+ (₹20,000 crore) annual cash shortfall over FY26-31E),' the brokerage firm said. According to the report, the stabilisation of Vi's subscriber base, along with further relief from the government of India, remains imperative for the telco's long-term survival. 'Further, with no relief so far on AGR dues (repayments commence March 2026) and no breakthrough on the debt raise, we believe Vi is likely to face an annual cash shortfall of ~₹200 bn (₹20,000 crore) and may be unable to meet its capex guidance of ₹500-550 bn (₹50,000-55,000 crore) over FY25-27E,' the brokerage said.

Shukla-piloted Axiom-4 launch to ISS now on June 10; Indian astronaut says ‘even stars are attainable, Jai Hind'
Indian astronaut-designate Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla NEW DELHI: The launch of the Axiom mission, which will carry Indian astronaut-designate Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla to the International Space Station, has been postponed to June 10, it was announced on Tuesday. 'The Ax4 crew is scheduled to launch to the International Space Station on June 10 at 8:22 AM EDT from Launch Complex 39A at NASAKennedy,' Axiom Space posted on X. The mission, part of Axiom Space's Ax-4 programme, was originally slated for take-off on May 29 and then rescheduled for June 8, but operational adjustments and quarantine protocols have now led to the launch date being pushed to June 10. During a virtual press conference, Shukla said the Ax-4 crew will interact with school students, educators and members of the Indian space industry. 'For the people of India, this mission is a milestone and I request India to pray for its success. Even stars are attainable, Jai Hind,' he said, adding that he would be carrying Indian delicacies such as mango nectar, moong dal halwa and carrot halwa on the space flight. PM Narendra Modi is expected to interact with the Ax-4 crew during their 14-day stay at the ISS. 'We will have one with an Indian VVIP,' Shukla said to a question on interaction with the PM from space. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 180k traders trust IC Markets for CFD trading | Sign up today IC Markets Learn More Undo Shukla, who will serve as the mission's pilot, is set to make history as the first Indian to visit the ISS and only the second Indian in space—following Rakesh Sharma's iconic 1984 mission. The Ax-4 crew includes mission commander Peggy Whitson, a veteran Nasa astronaut, and specialists Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski from Poland and Tibor Kapu from Hungary. Shukla will be the second Indian to travel to space four decades after Rakesh Sharma's iconic spaceflight onboard Russia's Soyuz spacecraft in 1984. On Tuesday, space minister Jitendra Singh announced that Group Capt Shukla will study physical, cognitive and physiological responses in space, as well as the impact of utilising continuous electronic displays in microgravity, an important issue for future long-duration space missions. Further, Shukla's research will focus on skeletal muscle dysfunction in space and the evaluation of therapeutic strategies to counter these effects. The minister shared that the astronaut-designate will also carry out experiments on the revival, survival, and reproduction of extremophiles such as Tardigrades. These micro-organisms, known for their resilience in extreme conditions, will help advance scientific understanding of the sustainability of life beyond Earth. Speaking on India's first human spaceflight mission, Gaganyaan, Singh said its trial phases are currently under way, and the mission is scheduled for early 2027. Such ventures will be game-changers for India's space ecosystem, allowing the country to become truly Atmanirbhar in the domain. He highlighted that India's space economy is projected to grow five-fold from $8 billion to $44 billion in the near future.
