Analyst coverage on Vodafone Idea by Sudarshan Bhandari on Smartkarma highlights the recent boost for the company with a Rs. 24,700 crore bank guarantee waiver.

However, while this waiver is a positive step, Vodafone Idea’s recovery hinges on fundraising, debt reduction, and market share regain, making its turnaround uncertain but slightly more plausible.
