‘Timely support, will offer relief’: Citi on VIL dues to equity conversion

The government’s decision to convert Rs 36,950 crore dues of Vodafone Idea (VIL) into equity is a “major” and “timely” display of support that will offer significant cash flow relief to the telco in the next three years and help it complete long-delayed bank debt raise, Citi said on Monday.

The move also lifts concerns on tower companies like Indus Towers.
