Decoding the share price decline of Vodafone Idea (Vi), Zee Business Managing Director Anil Singhvi says the recent developments related to the company is distressing not only to company’s shareholders but also for its customers and also raises its ongoing concern ahead. 

In the last nine sessions, the telecom company’s shares have declined over 53 per cent from Rs 9.75 per share on the BSE. While it alone on Thursday plunged by around 25 per cent to hit a 52-week low of Rs 4.55 per share on the BSE, as the chairman of Vi, Kumar Mangalam Birla resigns yesterday.  

The managing editor mentions that the way stock has been declining, it seems the shareholders were sensing such kind of move. He further adds, the resignation of Birla gives an indication that the Birla group won’t infuse any more funds in the company, which eventually will have to shut its shop.
