To address its financial challenges, Vodafone Idea announced plans in December 2024 to raise up to ₹1,980 crore through the issuance of preferential shares to entities including Omega Telecom Holdings and Usha Martin Telematics. This capital infusion aims to alleviate some of the company's substantial debt, particularly obligations to network infrastructure providers like Indus Towers. citeturn0search4

Despite these efforts, Vodafone Idea continues to face significant financial hurdles. In February 2025, India's Supreme Court rejected telecom companies' appeals to recalculate their dues to the government, impacting Vodafone Idea's financial obligations. citeturn0news9
