India's Vodafone Idea posts surprise fourth-quarter profit
Corrects headline to remove reference to Aditya Birla investment; corrects paragraph 1 to attribute profit to a one-time gain; corrects investment amount in paragraph 2 and profit amount in paragraph 3
May 16 (Reuters) - Indian telecoms operator Vodafone Idea VODA.NS reported an unexpected fourth-quarter net profit on Saturday after recording a one-time gain due to a reduction in statutory liabilities.
The company also said its promoter Aditya Birla Group would invest 47.3 billion rupees ($500 million) through fully convertible warrants.
The company posted consolidated profit after tax of 519.7 billion rupees in the three months to March 31. Analysts had expected a loss.
Earlier this year, the Indian government capped Vodafone Idea's adjusted gross revenue dues at $13.79 million annually for the next six years, easing near-term cash flow pressure for the firm.
Vodafone Idea has invested heavily in its 4G and 5G networks in recent years to improve service quality and curb a steady decline in its subscriber base.
The company's average revenue per user (ARPU), a key industry metric, rose to 190 rupees from 175 rupees a year earlier.
India's third-largest telecom provider, 49% owned by the government, was formed in 2018 by a merger between the Indian arm of Britain's Vodafone Group VOD.L and Aditya Birla Group’s Idea Cellular.
The company has been struggling with debt and keeping up with the network expansion of larger rivals.
Overall revenue for the quarter totalled 113.32 billion rupees, missing analysts' average estimate of 116.50 billion rupees.

FACTBOX-Ambani's Reliance Jio: businesses and investors of the IPO-bound firm
Updates with fund-raising plan in paragraphs 17-18
MUMBAI, May 11 (Reuters) - Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Jio Platforms is gearing up to seek regulatory approvals for a Mumbai listing, in what is likely to be the biggest-ever stock offering in the country.
Here are facts and numbers on Jio Platforms, which houses the world's second-largest telecom company by users after China Mobile 600941.SS.
TELECOM BUSINESS
Reliance Jio Platforms is a unit of Ambani's oil-to-retail conglomerate Reliance Industries RELI.NS. It is most known for the telecom business - Reliance Jio Infocomm, which is the country's biggest player with more than 500 million subscribers.
Launched in 2016, the telecom business, popularly just called Jio, hit rivals such as Bharti Airtel BRTI.NS and Vodafone-Idea VODA.NS hard by offering free voice and data plans initially.
The move, in line with Ambani's typical strategy of offering ultra-low prices to lure consumers, drove up its customer base and allowed many Indians to access platforms such as YouTube and Facebook for the first time.
Jio says it currently has a roughly 60% share of India's data traffic.
In recent years, Reliance Jio Platforms has diversified beyond telecom into AI, cloud and enterprise network services, as well as app development. In 2023, Nvidia NVDA.O announced AI partnership with Reliance to develop cloud infrastructure and language models.
THE LEADERSHIP
Mukesh Ambani, Asia's richest man, is the chairman of Jio Platforms. His three children - Akash, Anant and Isha - serve on its board. Akash Ambani, his elder son, is the chairman of the company's flagship telecom unit, Reliance Jio Infocomm.
Reliance Industries holds 66.43% stake in Jio Platforms.
Kiran Thomas is the CEO of Jio Platforms.
KEY FINANCIALS, VALUATION
Reliance Jio Platforms' operating revenue in the last financial year ending March 2025 stood at $13.65 billion. But 90% of that came just from the telecom business, which the company says has grown annually by 13% since 2020-21.
Reliance Jio Platforms posted a profit after tax of $2.8 billion in the year.
In November, investment bank Jefferies estimated that Reliance Jio's valuation stood at $180 billion. Sources told Reuters in January the IPO could be worth as much as $4 billion, though final numbers will only be decided later.
MARQUEE INVESTORS
In 2020, Jio Platforms raised more than $20.5 billion from 13 global investors in exchange for a roughly 33% equity stake, at a valuation range of $57 billion to $65 billion.
Global names such as Meta Platforms META.O, Alphabet GOOGL.O and KKR invested in the firm, as Ambani sought to turn Jio Platforms into the centerpiece of his technology ambitions.
Other investors include General Atlantic, Silver Lake and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. Meta owns a 9.9% stake in the company, followed by Google's 7.7% stake.
THE IPO JOURNEY
The filing, which had been targeted for as early as March, has been pushed back as IPO activity slowed following the outbreak of the conflict in West Asia, with investors losing their appetite for new listings.
The IPO, previously expected to be a pure offer-for-sale where foreign investors would have sold some of their holdings, is now being planned as a fundraising, aiming to issue shares worth 2.5% of the company's size.
The company's IPO has been long delayed. In 2019, Ambani said Jio would "move towards" a listing within five years, but later the plans were delayed in 2025.
The company has hired 17 banks to manage its offering.

India cuts Vodafone Idea's pending telecom dues to $6.75 billion
Adds details throughout
BENGALURU, April 30 (Reuters) - India has slashed Vodafone Idea's VODA.NS long-pending dues to 640.46 billion rupees ($6.75 billion) from 876.95 billion rupees earlier, the telecom firm said on Thursday.
The dues stem from a long legal dispute over government's method of calculating the so-called adjusted gross revenue, which telecom operators had contested as this metric determines licence fees and other dues.
In December, the government approved a partial moratorium on Vodafone Idea's dues, freezing them at 876.95 billion rupees and deferring repayments to the 2030s, providing near-term cash flow relief for the debt-saddled firm.
Now, the telecom company will have to pay 1 billion rupees annually over four years from financial year 2032 to 2035, with the remaining amount to be cleared in six equal yearly installments between fiscal years 2036 and 2041.

MUMBAI, March 23 (Reuters) - Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Jio Platforms is gearing up to file papers seeking regulatory approvals for a Mumbai listing, in what is likely to be the biggest-ever stock offering in the country.
Here are facts and numbers on Jio Platforms, which houses the world's second-largest telecom company by users after China Mobile 600941.SS.
TELECOM BUSINESS
Reliance Jio Platforms is a unit of Ambani's oil-to-retail conglomerate Reliance Industries RELI.NS. It is most known for the telecom business - Reliance Jio Infocomm, which is the country's biggest player with more than 500 million subscribers.
Launched in 2016, the telecom business, popularly just called Jio, hit rivals such as Bharti Airtel BRTI.NS and Vodafone-Idea VODA.NS hard by offering free voice and data plans initially.
The move, in line with Ambani's typical strategy of offering cut-throat prices to lure consumers, drove up its customer base and allowed many Indians to access platforms such as YouTube and Facebook for the first time.
Jio says it currently has a roughly 60% share of India's data traffic.
In recent years, Reliance Jio Platforms has diversified beyond telecom into AI, cloud and enterprise network services, as well as app development. In 2023, Nvidia NVDA.O announced AI partnership with Reliance to develop cloud infrastructure and language models.
THE LEADERSHIP
Mukesh Ambani, Asia's richest man, is the chairman of Jio Platforms. His three children - Akash, Anant and Isha - serve on its board. Akash Ambani, his elder son, is the chairman of the company's flagship telecom unit, Reliance Jio Infocomm.
Reliance Industries holds 66.43% stake in Jio Platforms.
Kiran Thomas is the CEO of Jio Platforms.
KEY FINANCIALS, VALUATION
Reliance Jio Platforms' operating revenue in the last financial year ending March 2025 stood at $13.65 billion. But 90% of that came just from the telecom business, which the company says has grown annually by 13% since 2020-21.
Reliance Jio Platforms posted a profit after tax of $2.8 billion in the year.
In November, investment bank Jefferies estimated that Reliance Jio's valuation stood at $180 billion. Sources told Reuters in January the IPO could be worth as much as $4 billion, though final numbers will only be decided later.
MARQUEE INVESTORS
In 2020, Jio Platforms raised more than $20.5 billion from 13 global investors in exchange for a roughly 33% equity stake, at a valuation range of $57 billion to $65 billion.
Global names such as Meta Platforms META.O, Alphabet GOOGL.O and KKR invested in the firm, as Ambani sought to turn Jio Platforms into the centerpiece of his technology ambitions.
Other investors include General Atlantic, Silver Lake and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. Meta owns a 9.9% stake in the company, followed by Google's 7.7% stake.
THE IPO JOURNEY
The company's IPO has been long delayed. In 2019, Ambani said Jio would "move towards" a listing within five years, but later the plans were delayed in 2025.
The company has hired 17 banks to manage its offering, which will see the company raise no new funds from the public and only allow exits for some shareholders.

India's Vodafone Idea Q3 loss narrows on higher premium data usage
Jan 27 (Reuters) - Indian telecom operator Vodafone Idea VODA.NS reported a narrower fiscal third-quarter loss on Tuesday, helped by higher data consumption and more users upgrading to higher-paying 4G and 5G plans.
The debt-laden telecom operator's consolidated loss after tax narrowed to 52.86 billion rupees ($577.53 million) in the quarter ended December 31, from a loss of 66.09 billion rupees a year earlier.
Vodafone Idea has been investing in its 4G and 5G infrastructure in recent years to improve service quality and stem subscriber losses.
Average revenue per user, a key industry metric, rose 7.3% year-on-year to 186 rupees. The increase followed a 2% rise in 4G and 5G subscribers and a 26.7% jump in average data usage among those users.
However, Vodafone's ARPU still trails rivals Reliance Jio RELJ.NS's 211.4 rupees and Bharti Airtel's BRTI.NS 256 rupees.
Earlier this month, the government capped Vodafone Idea's long-pending adjusted gross revenue dues at $13.79 million annually over the next six years, easing near-term cash flow pressures.
The company on Tuesday said its AGR dues stood frozen at 876.95 billion rupees as of December 31, adding that the amount remains subject to reassessment.
India's third-largest telecom provider, 49% owned by the Indian government, was formed in 2018 through a merger between the Indian arm of UK's Vodafone Group VOD.L and Aditya Birla Group's Idea Cellular.
The company has posted losses every quarter since and has ceded market share to market leaders Jio and Airtel, as it struggles with more than $22 billion in debt and a network rollout that lags larger rivals.
Overall revenue rose year-on-year to 113.23 billion rupees, beating analysts' estimates of 112.77 billion rupees.

Billionaire Ambani, telcos spar with Adani's Mumbai airport on mobile networks
Passengers complain about lack of mobile networks at Navi Mumbai airport
Adani's airport denies blocking telecom access, offers "neutral host" solution
Telcos urge government intervention over alleged monopolistic practice
By Aditya Kalra and Munsif Vengattil
NEW DELHI, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Billionaire Mukesh Ambani's telecom company is among those urging the government to act over what they describe as monopolistic practices at Gautam Adani's new Mumbai airport, saying the facility is blocking operators from providing mobile connectivity, according to a letter seen by Reuters.
Adani-run Navi Mumbai International Airport denied the allegations, but the dispute highlights the growing rivalry between India's two richest men, whose conglomerates increasingly compete across sectors from green energy to data centres.
The airport, located on Mumbai’s outskirts, began operations in December after being inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It is the latest addition to Adani’s portfolio of eight airports, with plans for more.
Within days of opening, passengers complained on social media about poor or non-existent mobile coverage and raised privacy concerns after spotting billboards offering free airport Wi-Fi.
TELECOM OPERATORS DEMAND ACCESS TO AIRPORT INFRASTRUCTURE
A January 13 letter from Cellular Operators Association of India to India's government states Adani's airport must grant access to install equipment as required by Indian regulations for public entities, which includes airports, and that a denial has created a "monopolistic bottleneck".
In its statement, Navi Mumbai International Airport said it had deployed “state-of-the-art solutions” and that operators could partner with an entity managing the airport’s in-building network infrastructure.
COAI, which represents Ambani's Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel BRTI.NS and Vodafone Idea VODA.NS, said it had no comment beyond the letter, which is not public.
The companies and the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, did not respond to Reuters queries.
PASSENGER DISTRESS: 'WE CAN'T CALL PEOPLE'
Jio leads India's telecom market with over 500 million subscribers, followed by Airtel at 314 million and Vodafone at nearly 128 million.
Online, passengers have voiced frustration that the airport’s Wi-Fi cannot be accessed without mobile coverage because login requires a one-time password sent via WhatsApp.
"You'll be thankful to see free Wi-Fi banners, thinking you can at least book cabs now. You go to the Wi-Fi network and try to log in, but it requires an OTP (one time password)," X user adarsxh_baab wrote on Jan. 13.
Adani's statement added that when network coverage is left to individual operators, they often provide "sub-optimal coverage" in sensitive areas such as baggage handling zones.
COAI also said the airport is demanding around $102,000 per operator each month - nearly $5 million annually for four carriers - to use its centralised network, an allegation Adani denied.
"We can't call people, pay for cabs or even book anything. If you're a solo traveller it's hell," X user Srihita Vanguri wrote on the platform on Sunday.
