CRISIL’s argument: The rating agency believes that the continuous financial and strategic support of promoter Aditya Birla Group, Vi’s strong presence in the market and improvement in business operations are the main reasons for this upgrade. Along with this, the company is going to make a big investment of ₹45,000 crore in the next few years, which will help in strengthening the 4G network and rapidly expanding 5G sites, which will improve the cash flow and earnings of the company in the future.
3. Huge relief from government in AGR dues
The biggest turning point for Vi was the reduction in cash pressure in terms of AGR (Adjusted Gross Revenue) dues. The AGR liability of the company has been reduced to a great extent by rationalization by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT).
Earlier the total AGR liability on the company was ₹87,695 crore, which has now reduced. ₹64,046 crore is left. With this big relief, it has become easier for the company to have cash available for working capital and network expansion.
How is the stock’s performance and the way forward?
Shares of Vodafone Idea remained firm around ₹14.20 level on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) in Wednesday’s trading session. Market analysts believe that if the company continues to reduce its operating losses at the same pace and is successful in adding customers with the 5G rollout, the stock could show stronger performance in the long term.
However, investors should also keep in mind that the challenges facing Vi have not completely ended due to the tariff war and competition being extremely aggressive in the Indian telecom sector. But at present, the market sentiment remains completely bullish on this stock in the short to medium term.
