BSE stock price for Vodafone Idea dropped a full 24% to Rs 4.55 apiece after the company announced that Kumar Mangalam Birla, a non-executive director and non-executive chairman, would be stepping down. Changes will be applied when the company is closed on August 4, 2021. Himanshu Kapania, who currently serves as a Non-Executive Director, has been elected as the Non-Executive Chairman by the board. Today’s price drop has caused Vodafone Idea stock to lose 37% in two days. Since Kumar Mangalam Birla made an offer to sell his stake in the company to any public sector, government, or domestic financial entity that can keep the company operating, the telecom stock has been in a freefall.
With the exit of Vodafone-Idea, the telecom market and infrastructure will be impacted. Tariffs will not last forever, but duopolies are unlikely to do so, leaving consumers vulnerable to service providers in a marketplace where utility is becoming just as critical as the product being sold.
In his writing, telecommunications expert Mahesh Uppal points out that, on the whole, consumers have gained affordable prices, cutting-edge technologies, and a tolerable quality of service. The advantages that have been won in this battle are now in jeopardy, though. Additionally, Uppal stated that there is a long way to go in terms of expanding network capacity and accessibility. It has been noted that while India ranks second globally in terms of the number of people who have access to the internet, it is also first in the number of people who are not connected. The majority of Indians, even with the huge increases in network reach and capacity, are not connected to the Internet.
