What Happened

Vodafone Idea Chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla said FY27 will be a"year of execution and delivery" for the telecom operator, with the company focusing on converting recent network investments, improved finances and subscriber gains into sustainable growth. He said Vi has largely addressed key legacy challenges and is now entering an operational execution phase.

Key Takeaways

Birla renewed the industry's demand for periodic tariff rationalisation, arguing that India's telecom tariffs remain among the lowest globally and higher ARPU is essential for funding network expansion, 5G rollout and future technologies.
