He said that even the company's CEO last week has also hinted that Vodafone Idea is almost about to close the fundings from probable investors.

This will also help Vodafone Idea to create a huge corpus to compete in the 5G spectrum auction, alongside Airtel and Jio. US tech giant has already funded Airtel and Reliance Jio for the 5G auction.

Meanwhile, Vodafone Idea continues to grapple with subscriber loss. As per the TRAI report, the telecom company lost 4.7 million subscribers in the first three months of 2022. The telco lost nearly 23 million subscribers during fiscal year 2021-22.
