    What's the story

    Vodafone Idea's plans to raise up to ₹1,980 crore via a preferential share sale have been approved by the board.

    The shares will be sold to entities within its UK parent company Vodafone Group Plc.

    The decision, which was announced today, involves the sale of 175 crore shares at ₹11.28 per equity share.

    The telecom firm's board approved a preferential issue of ₹1,280 crore to Omega Telecom and ₹700 crore to Usha Martin Telematics, both part of the Vodafone Group.

    Stake expansion

    Omega Telecom, Usha Martin Telematics to increase stakes

    The preferential share sale will be advantageous for Omega Telecom Holdings and Usha Martin Telematics.

    After this deal, Omega Telecom Holdings's stake in Vi will increase from 0.4% to 1.98%. Meanwhile, Usha Martin Telematics's stake will go up from 0.13% to 1%.

    This comes after Vi announced a board meeting last week to discuss raising up to ₹2,000 crore through equity shares or convertible securities sale on a preferential basis.
