The Union Cabinet’s approval of a relief package for Vodafone Idea (Vi) could pave the way for the government’s potential exit from the financially stressed telecom operator, with a stake sale currently under consideration, according to top government sources cited by The Indian Express in a report by Soumyarendra Barik and Anil Sasi dated January 2, 2026. The government, which holds a 49 per cent stake in Vodafone Idea after converting interest dues into equity in February 2023, is also exploring the possibility of bringing in a private sector investor. Two large corporate groups had expressed interest at different points, the sources reportedly said, adding that no final decision has been taken on the mode or timing of the stake sale. Any exit, however, would be contingent on the government selling its equity at a profit. #VodafoneIdea #TelecomSector #GovernmentStake #ViReliefPackage #IndianTelecom #Disinvestment #StockMarketIndia #PolicyNews #CorporateIndia #BusinessNews अब आ गया है Money9 Prime.
