Vodafone Idea share price today, as of 11:43 am on May 20, 2025, stands at Rs 6.54. It marks a 2.68% decline from its previous close of Rs 6.72. The leading telecom company of India witnessed sharp volatility in its share price amid legal troubles. The drop highlights investor concerns about Vodafone Idea’s weak financial position and regulatory uncertainties.
Vodafone Idea opened the day at Rs 6.75, slightly above its last close. Although the stock quickly retreated, recording an intraday low of Rs 6.50 and a high of Rs 6.78. The stock's upper and lower circuit limits are Rs 7.39 and Rs 6.04. Thus, offering limited room for price movement amid ongoing volatility.
The average delivery of 60.53% suggests that a large number of traders are holding the stock for the long term. This, in turn, means that Vodafone Idea shares are not experiencing speculative trading on a large scale.
The following Vodafone Idea share price chart as of 12.02 PM shows a loss of 3.12%:
By late morning, 423.8 million shares were traded, amounting to a turnover of Rs 2,771.6 crore. This is significantly higher than the 20-day average volume of 376.7 million shares. It shows heightened investor activity. However, the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) for the day stood at Rs 6.65, slightly higher than the current trading price. The higher VWAP signals sustained selling pressure.
Despite strong trading activity, Vodafone Idea’s financial indicators paint a grim picture. The company’s market capitalization stands at Rs 70,856 crore. However, the book value per share is Rs -5.24, reflecting a deeply negative net worth. Its earnings per share (EPS) over the trailing twelve months is zero. The price-to-earnings (PE) ratio remains unavailable due to a lack of profits.
Vodafone Idea has also not declared any dividends, indicating zero dividend yield. Its beta value of 1.83 denotes high volatility relative to the market. While the sector PE is 45.51, Vodafone Idea stock's absence of earnings makes its valuation impossible under standard metrics.

Vodafone Idea shares have plummeted from an all-time high of Rs 125.66 to their current levels, with the 52-week high at Rs 19.18 and the 52-week low at Rs 6.47. Trading near its yearly low means continued bearish sentiment. The all-time low of Rs 2.40 remains a looming risk unless the company’s finances improve.
Analysts are mixed given the company’s falling finances, legal troubles and the disappointing recent performance of the stock. The majority of analysts, 32%, recommend a ‘SELL’ rating, while 46% are equally divided between a ‘Hold’ and ‘Underperform’ rating. The immediate resistance level for Vodafone Idea shares is at Rs 7.13, and the support level is at Rs 6.40.
The primary trigger for today’s decline is the Supreme Court's rejection of Vodafone Idea’s plea seeking relief on its Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) dues. The court not only denied the request but called the plea ‘shocking’ and ’misconceived’. This legal blow leaves the company liable for its full AGR liability.
As of March 31, 2025, Vodafone Idea’s total AGR dues amounted to Rs 83,400 crore, including interest and penalties. These dues are nearly twice the company's annual operational cash flow. Thus, casting doubts over its ability to continue operations without external support.
Adding to the woes, investor sentiment has turned more negative following the verdict. The share has already fallen over 10% in the previous session, with continued pressure evident today. The stock’s proximity to its 52-week low has only deepened investor pessimism.
Other concerns include low capital expenditure compared to rivals, a high net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio, and no immediate signs of a turnaround. Analysts remain doubtful about the company’s survival without major financial intervention.
Vodafone Idea stock’s short-term prospects look bleak with growing liabilities, a negative net worth, no profits, and legal setbacks. The mixed analyst rating further shows the uncertainty being experienced by the shares. Until there’s a clear path to restructuring or relief, investors are likely to stay cautious, and share price volatility will continue.
