As per news reports, Vodafone Idea Ltd. is taking proactive steps to address its financial challenges by planning a significant fundraising initiative. The company’s board is set to meet on December 9, 2024, to deliberate on a proposal aimed at raising ₹2,000 crore through preferential equity issuance, marking another move in its financial restructuring efforts.
Vodafone Idea Ltd. has disclosed that its board of directors will convene on December 9, 2024, to discuss a proposal to raise funds. The plan involves issuing equity shares and/or convertible securities on a preferential basis to one or more entities within the Vodafone Group, a key promoter of the company.
To ensure transparency and compliance, the company has also announced a temporary trading window closure for its securities from December 5 to December 11, 2024. This step reflects Vodafone Idea’s focus on expediting its financial revival plans.
This ₹2,000 crore fundraising plan comes after Vodafone Idea raised ₹18,000 crore earlier this year through India’s largest Follow-on Public Offer (FPO). Despite the historic FPO, the company’s stock currently trades 22% below its issue price of ₹11 per share.

Founded in 2018, the company leverages its extensive infrastructure to offer reliable connectivity and innovative digital solutions.
