Vodafone Idea Ltd
Vodafone Idea Ltd is an Indian telecom company that sells mobile phone and data services to consumers and businesses. It runs wireless networks and sells prepaid and postpaid plans, voice calling, internet access, roaming, and related mobile services through its own brand and retail channels. Its main customers are individual mobile users, families, small businesses, and larger enterprises that need connectivity for employees, branches, and devices. The company makes money mostly from monthly and usage-based telecom fees, plus business connectivity services and other network-related charges. What makes the business easy to understand is that it sits in the middle of the telecom value chain: it owns the customer relationship and the network access that people use every day. That makes it a utility-like service provider, where the core job is to keep people and companies connected and to earn recurring fees for that access.

AGR resolved: Vodafone Idea said the government has finalized its AGR dues at INR 64,046 crores, down from the earlier frozen figure of INR 87,695 crores, giving the company long-term repayment clarity.
Subscriber trend: The company said it stabilized its subscriber base at 192.8 million in Q4, the first time it has done so since the merger, and noted that net subscriber additions turned positive in February and continued into March.
ARPU strength: Customer ARPU rose to INR 190 in Q4, up 8.3% year over year, helped by network improvements, higher data usage and strong traction in the Nonstop Hero unlimited-data offering.
Profit boost: FY '26 and Q4 net profit were lifted by a large one-time exceptional gain from the AGR accounting impact, with net profit at INR 34,552 crores for the full year and INR 51,970 crores in Q4.
CapEx push: Management said it remains on track for INR 45,000 crores of CapEx over the next 3 years and expects spending intensity to increase from Q1 FY '27 onward.
