Vodafone Idea FPO Subscription

Vodafone Idea expects its Rs 180 bn follow-on public offer (FPO) to have a maximum subscription with the share of anchor investors being fully subscribed, proceeds of which will be crucial for launching 5G for its future growth and competitiveness in the Indian telecoms sector.

As India's No. 3 telecom carrier began the roadshow for what it is considered the largest-ever FPO, Vodafone Idea chief executive Akshay Moondra said the company will roll out 5G services in six-nine months following the offer, and that it will expedite 5G equipment orders with vendors with which it has conducted trials.

The telco is aiming to offer 5G within 24-30 months to the geographies that contribute 40% of its revenues. The carrier remains the only private company to not have 5G services on offer, unlike Airtel and Reliance Jio, and it has concentrated its attention towards 17 priority circles that account for 98% of its revenue, and 92% of the industry's revenue.

Indigo Fuel Crisis

An IndiGo flight from Ayodhya to Delhi on Saturday, 13 April, reportedly had a close shave after it was forced to divert to Chandigarh due to low fuel levels, according to a passenger.

The incident has raised safety concerns, with passengers and a retired pilot alleging that IndiGo may have breached Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Satish Kumar, who shared his harrowing experience on social media, stated that the flight (6E2702) was scheduled to depart Ayodhya at 3:25 pm and arrive in Delhi at 4:30 pm.

However, just about 15 minutes before the scheduled landing, the pilot announced that due to bad weather in Delhi, they wouldn't be able to land there. The aircraft circled the city and tried to land twice, but both attempts were unsuccessful.

Kumar further stated that the pilot informed passengers at 4:15 pm that they had 45 minutes of holding fuel.

Yet, after two unsuccessful landing attempts and what he described as a wasted amount of time deciding the next course of action, the pilot finally announced at 5:30 pm, 75 minutes later, that they would divert to Chandigarh.

The plane finally managed to land at Chandigarh Airport at 6:10 PM, 115 minutes after the announcement about having 45 minutes of holding fuel. Got to know after landing that we landed in the nick of time, with only 1 or 2 minutes of fuel left.
