Vodafone Idea Q3FY26 Results: Vodafone Idea (Vi) announced its Q3FY26 results on Tuesday. The telecom company reported consolidated revenue of Rs 11,209 crore for Q3FY26 which came in slightly above Zee Business’s estimate of Rs 11,195 crore. EBITDA stood at Rs 4,710 crore, beating the expected Rs 4,685 crore, while margins improved to 42 per cent from the estimated 41.8 per cent.
However, the company’s net loss widened to Rs 6,333 crore, higher than the projected Rs 5,524 crore. ARPU rose to Rs 169, up from Rs 167 expected, marking a modest 1.2 per cent improvement sequentially.
Revenue and EBITDA
Revenue was largely flat, up just 0.1 per cent quarter-on-quarter. EBITDA grew 0.5 per cent sequentially, driven by cost control and better operating leverage. Analysts said the 42 per cent margin reflects efficiency gains despite high network and spectrum costs.
Losses remain a challenge
The wider loss was driven by higher depreciation and finance charges, along with ongoing legacy obligations. While ARPU is trending up, analysts caution that financial obligations continue to restrict profit growth.
Subscriber metrics and ARPU
ARPU improvement was supported by higher data consumption and tariff measures. Vodafone Idea’s 4G and 5G subscriber base remains key, as competition continues to pressure the market.
Outlook
Investors will be looking forward to management commentary and progress on liability resolution. Analysts said sustaining ARPU gains while managing legacy obligations will be crucial in the coming quarters.
