Morgan Stanley ki report ke mutabik, yeh badlav Vodafone Idea ke plans ko rival Bharti Airtel ke comparable offerings se 7-9% zyada expensive bana rahe hain. Pehle Vi ke plans zyada affordable maane jaate the, lekin ab ye price adjustment us dynamic ko change kar raha hai.
Yeh pricing strategy company ke liye mahatvapurna financial aur legal developments ke beech aa rahi hai. Is mahine ki shuruaat mein, Vodafone Idea ko Ahmedabad se Rs 638 crore ki GST penalty ka order mila tha. Company ne kaha hai ki woh is order se sehmat nahi hai aur legal action legi. Yeh kadam AGR dues par Vodafone Idea ko mili badi rahat ke baad aaya hai. Union Cabinet ne payment moratorium aur capped AGR dues ke reassessment ki permission di thi, jisse financially strained operator ko kuch breathing room mila hai.
Mangalwar ko, Vodafone Idea ke shares NSE par 0.89% badhkar Rs 10.22 par band hue, jabki Nifty index mein 0.30% ki girawat dekhne ko mili. Pichhle 12 mahino mein, stock mein 9.19% ka appreciation aaya hai.
