Subscriber net losses persisted at approximately 1 billion in Q2 despite network investments and product initiatives. Management attributes this to seasonality but acknowledges coverage gaps remain, with trajectory linked to network expansion pace.
While ₹7,500-8,000 crore capex guidance for FY26 doesn't require external funding, the ₹50,000-55,000 crore long-term network expansion plan remains contingent on securing debt financing from banks. Banks may await government relief package clarity given Supreme Court AGR order and government's 49% stake.
Data usage per subscriber at 18.5 GB compares unfavorably to ₹28 GB for peer network, with competitors having 40%+ of data traffic on 5G versus Vodafone Idea in very early 5G rollout phase. This ARPU and engagement gap could widen competitive disadvantage.
AGR dues of approximately ₹78,500 crore remain unresolved. Supreme Court order dated October 27 and November 3, 2025 permits government reconsideration of additional AGR demand and comprehensive reconciliation including interest and penalty through FY17. Timeline for resolution and impact on company finances remains uncertain.
