Vodafone Idea share gains 3% as relief hopes trump denial

Vi inches above Rs 7 as the market bets on a turnaround, even after bailout rumours are squashed

Vi inches above Rs 7 as the market bets on a turnaround, even after bailout rumours are squashedAdobe Stock

Vodafone Idea's share price gave investors something to cheer about today. The stock jumped 3.6 per cent today (June 25, 2025), touching Rs 7.12 on the BSE, despite the company flatly denying reports of a massive government bailout. Clearly, the market isn’t waiting for an official green light to price in hope. For a stock that’s been stuck below Rs 7 for most of the past few weeks, this bounce stands out.

What triggered the rally?

It all started with reports that the government might step in with a relief package for Vi’s staggering Rs 84,000-crore AGR dues. Even though Vodafone Idea came out quickly to deny any such development, the stock had already gathered steam and stayed strong through the day. The message? Investors seem willing to take their chances on a possible turnaround story, rather than sit on the sidelines.

About Vodafone Idea

Vodafone Idea, or Vi, is India’s third-largest telecom player, formed by the merger of Vodafone India and Idea Cellular in 2018. It serves over 200 million subscribers with services spanning mobile, broadband, enterprise solutions, and digital content. 

Below is a table summarising the company’s fundamentals.

Metric Value 
Market cap Rs 74,432 crore
EPS  - Rs 3.9
Book value - Rs 6.5
P/B ratio - 1.1
ROCE - 4 per cent

The bottom line

Vodafone Idea’s rise today highlights a simple truth: in the market’s eyes, even the whiff of good news can overshadow shaky fundamentals. If real relief materialises, Vi could surprise. Until then, it’s a risky bet – one driven more by news flow than numbers.
