Vodafone Idea Reports Q4 Profit on AGR Gain, Plans Rs 4,730 Crore Fundraise

Vodafone Idea reported a net profit of Rs 51,970 crore in Q4 FY26, reversing a Rs 7,166 crore loss a year earlier, primarily due to a one-time accounting gain from the reassessment of adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues. Excluding this gain, the company showed operational improvements with a 3% revenue increase to Rs 11,332 crore and a 4.9% rise in EBITDA. Vodafone Idea plans to raise Rs 4,730 crore through convertible warrants issued to an Aditya Birla Group entity, aiming to strengthen its financial position and support network expansion amid competitive pressures.
