Vodafone Idea shares got their groove back on Tuesday, jumping over 5% after the company revealed fresh divestment updates that caught the market’s attention. Omega Telecom Holdings and Usha Martin Telematics went on a shopping spree, snapping up massive chunks of equity through preferential issues—moves that sent a strong signal of confidence. The stock hit a day’s high of ₹8.14, though it’s still a distant 57% from its 52-week peak of ₹19.15. Even so, with a modest 23% climb from its November low of ₹6.60, things are looking a bit brighter. Adding to the excitement, Citi slapped a ‘Buy’ call on Vodafone Idea with a juicy target of ₹13, signaling a potential 60% upside. Citi pointed to the government’s waiver on bank guarantees as a game-changer. This lifeline eases a big burden for Vodafone Idea, which had been tripping over the hurdle of securing debt funding. The ripple effects are also expected to benefit Indus Towers. That said, the funding journey isn’t over—progress there remains the make-or-break factor for the telco. Meanwhile, Vodafone Idea isn’t just shuffling shares—it’s amping up its tech game. The company partnered with HCLSoftware to turbocharge its 4G and 5G networks using AI-powered tools. Their new platform, HCL ANA, promises smarter, greener network management while slashing costs and boosting service quality. With a future-proof setup and energy-efficient operations, Vi seems to be aligning itself for a leaner, meaner future.
