Telecom service provider Vodafone Idea (Vi) is actively exploring non-bank avenues to raise funds for its capital expenditure plans. Outgoing CEO Akshaya Moondra revealed this during the June quarter earnings call on August 18.<\/p>\n

He explained that while discussions with banks are ongoing, progress has been slow due to uncertainty around adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues. This has forced the company to look at other options to keep its capex cycle running.<\/p>\n

Moondra stressed that Vodafone Idea has urged the government to resolve the AGR issue ahead of the March 2026 deadline. Early settlement, he said, would reassure lenders and enable banks to extend much-needed financial support.<\/p>\n
