That means:

⚠️ Vi could shut down operations after FY2026, which ends in March 2026, if no significant help is provided.

🧾 What’s the issue?

  • Vi is struggling with:
  1. Heavy debt burden
  2. Delays in network expansion (especially 5G)
  3. Loss of market share to Airtel and Jio

They’ve been trying to raise capital, but without government relief or investor confidence, the future looks uncertain.

📡 For users:

If you’re a Vi user, you might need to start planning for a switch, especially if services begin to degrade in the coming months.

It’s a tough moment, considering Vodafone and Idea were once two telecom giants.


🔁 Your thoughts?

Do you think the Indian government should support Vi to maintain telecom competition?
