Overview
- Vi CEO Abhijit Kishore, speaking Friday at the COAI Digicom Summit, said the carrier will apply minor tariff corrections rather than a structural, across-the-board hike.
- Rival Bharti Airtel has raised prepaid prices by about 4–5 percent, a contrast that could spare Vi users from a larger near-term jump even as analysts project steeper industry hikes.
- The government owns 49 percent of Vodafone Idea, and the company says that backing aligns with its push to improve operating performance.
- TRAI data show Vi added over 100,000 mobile users in March, marking a second straight month of growth after years of subscriber losses.
- Kishore said a reassessment of adjusted gross revenue dues is moving fast with an outcome expected soon, referring to charges tied to license fees and spectrum usage.
