Vodafone Idea Narrows Q1 Loss to Rs 3,754 Crore as Revenue and Subscribers Rise
Vodafone Idea reported a narrowed consolidated net loss of Rs 3,754 crore in Q1 FY27, down from Rs 6,608 crore a year earlier, with revenue rising 6% year-on-year to Rs 11,689 crore. EBITDA grew 9% to Rs 5,034 crore, and the EBITDA margin improved to 43.1%. The company added subscribers for the first time since its 2018 merger, reaching 193.1 million, while average revenue per user increased 10.2% to Rs 195. Vodafone Idea expanded its 4G and 5G networks, with 5G now available in over 200 cities. The loss narrowing was aided by government dues relaxation and a notional gain from promoter share valuation.
