Vodafone Idea reported FY26 revenue and EBITDA growth, citing a stabilised 192.8 million subscriber base and improving 4G/5G reach. Following its AGR-liability revision, Vi plans ₹45,000 crore of network investment through FY29 and targets IoT, cloud and smart-metering growth.

Why this matters

The plan follows Vi's FY27 network investment and subscriber-growth target, its call for periodic tariff hikes to fund 5G through FY29, and a ₹200 prepaid entertainment pack aimed at engagement.
