  • Idea Cellular and Vodafone India are "exploring" possibilities for a vital deal that could possibly translate into a merger.

    Idea and Vodafone's exploratory talks, if successful, may lead to the dislodging of Bharti Airtel as the market leader in the telco sector.

    The two tech giants are evaluating the hazards and opportunities of such an alliance.

  • Quote

    Vodafone and Idea deny talks of merger

  • When reached for comment "Vodafone on its part has declined to comment on this news, Idea Cellular has called it "false and baseless".

  • Impact of the merger

    Proposed merger may create a $16 billion worth entity

    Proposed merger may create a $16 billion worth entity
  • Vodafone that is expected to be in talks of a $11 billion IPO and Idea Cellular with a valuation of $5 billion; so the proposed merger could "create a telecom entity with a market cap of over $16 billion".

    The merger would also essentially mean that Vodafone will then not require coming out with an IPO, as Idea Cellular is already publicly listed.
