Motilal Oswal Report

The last few days have seen heightened investor interest in Vodafone Idea Ltd.’s equity conversion of the regulatory obligation for the next four years. How will this change the sector dynamics?

The government had offered the option to convert the interest component accrued during the moratorium period into equity – the Net Present Value, as per Vodafone Idea, is expected to be ~Rs 160 billion.

So what will be the future repercussions?
