A Comprehensive Study on Post-Merger of VI and its Implications on the Telecom Industry

This paper conducts a thorough analysis of the post-merger scenario between Vodafone India and Idea Limited, now collectively known as Vodafone Idea Limited (VIL). The study examines various financial ratios to evaluate the implications of the merger on the telecom industry. The findings suggest that despite the strategic merger, the financial performance of VIL has deteriorated, as evidenced by a decline in key financial ratios compared to the pre-merger period. This research sheds light on the challenges faced by telecom companies in mergers and acquisitions and underscores the importance of strategic planning and execution in such endeavours.
