Vi Prepaid Recharge Alert: New Rs 351 ‘Work From Home’ Plan Offers 100GB Data for 56 Days

Vi, which was recently rebranded from the Vodafone-Idea operator group, has found itself under trying conditions as a result of falling market share, mass exodus of users from its network, extensive complaints regarding its network quality, and majorly, a massive amount of liability under Adjusted Gross Revenues, as adjudged by the Supreme Court of India. As a result, the loss-stricken telecom operator, which was once the largest in India by market share and number of users and now ranks third behind Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel, is reportedly looking to improve its average revenue per user (ARPU) to maximise earnings. Reports have also claimed that Vi will look to attract funding from major foreign companies by promoting its existing infrastructure and user base as a lucrative business opportunity.

So far, Vi has not made any mention of their plans to upgrade their network to 5G infrastructure. Reliance Jio, the market leader in the telecom space in India, has already announced Jio 5G and pegged 2021 as the tentative timeline for rollout of public services. While Vi presently appears to be looking for avenues to cut down on its massive financial liabilities, it remains to be seen if the operator eventually manages to stage a miraculous comeback, or falls to the massive incurred debts in the long run.
