|January 28, 2026
Confident of meeting obligations through FY27
Vodafone Idea (Vi) narrowed its consolidated net loss to 5,286 crore in the third quarter (October-December/Q3) of 2025-26 (FY26), from %6,609 crore a year earlier (Q3 of 2024-25/FY25).
Revenue rose 1.85 per cent year-on-year to 11,323 crore, up from%11,117 crore in Q3FY25.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation increased to %4,816 crore, from %4,712 crore. Finance costs fell to %5,632 crore, down from %5,690 crore in the same quarter of the previous financial year.
The company said on Monday that it was confident of generating sufficient cash flow to meet obligations over the next 12 months, following the Indian government’s 10-year breather on adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues.
“Based on recent developments with respect to the AGR matter, the group is confident of generating sufficient cash flow from operations to meet its obligations, including lenders, spectrum, and AGR dues payable over the next 12 months as and when they fall due,” the company said in its quarterly report for Q3FY26. It added that it was in talks with banks to raise additional funds.
