Vodafone Idea, which just completed its successful Rs18,000 crore FPO, is again in talks with lenders for loans worth Rs15,000 crore. This fund raising will be phased over the next 2 years. Some of the PSBs that Vodafone Idea has already approached include SBI, BOB and PNB. Most likely, SBI may lead a consortium of bankers to fund a requirement of this size. The big challenge for Vodafone Idea, amidst a steady loss of subscribers, is to roll out 5G network service and expand 4G coverage, to take on Reliance Jio and Bharti.

Amidst a barrage of news headlines about the imminent exit of ICICI Bank CEO, Sandeep Bakshi, the bank rushed to clarify that the news item was totally baseless. There were several reports that Bakshi wanted to step down from the top job. The bank, in a statement, alluded that such news items could even be an outcome of malicious intent. Under Bakshi, ICICI Bank has grown its market almost 4-fold. Bakshi took over the reins of ICICI Bank, after CEO Chand Kochhar was asked to exit over the conflict of interest fiasco. The government has cut the windfall tax levied as Special Additional Excise Duty (SAED) on domestically produced crude from Rs9,600/tonne to Rs8,400/tonne. The windfall tax is normally increased or cut in tandem with the crude oil prices to ensure that the oil extraction companies do not end up making super normal profits amidst a sharp spike in crude prices. The tax rate is decided every fortnight, based on the oil prices and the GRMs in the international market. Windfall tax was first imposed by centre in July 2022.
