孟买:沃达丰的想法据说，(Vi)已向债券持有人保证，今年晚些时候到期的还款/利息支付将再度出现在二级市场上。在2021年的前两个半月，价值67.4亿卢比的债券易手，比去年10月至12月报告的约9亿卢比的交易价值高出7倍多。它们的收益率在26- 29%之间，远低于过去。
交易商表示，该公司尚未拖欠或延迟付款，这增强了投资者信心。维没有置评。

MUMBAI: Vodafone Idea<\/a> (Vi) is said to have assured bondholders of repayments\/interest payments falling due later in the year, reviving a dry secondary market spell. In the first two and a half months of 2021, bonds worth Rs 674 crore changed hands, which is over seven times larger than the transaction value reported between October-December at about Rs 90 crore last year. They yielded in the range of 26-29 percent, much lower than the past.
The company has not yet missed or delayed payments adding to investor confidence, dealers said. Vi didn't comment.
\u201cVi has been updating us and assuring no defaults in future. We have received our dues in the past without a single day delay,\u201d said one of the institutional bond investors, ET spoke with. Some payment obligations are appearing around November-December.

<\/div><\/div>The largest trade took place on March 3 when bonds worth Rs 263 crore were transacted at a price discount of 15 percent. The weighted average yield was at 28.78 percent on the exchange platform. When yields rise prices fall. The yield came off to 26.4 percent last Monday in a small trade.
\u201cWe are observing a rise in secondary trades of the telecom (Vi) bonds,\u201d said Ajay Manglunia, managing director \u2013 fixed income at JM Financial<\/a>. \u201cWe gather, some wealthy or foreign investors are ready to take a bet on Vi, which is trying to regain market share through multiple measures.\u201d
\u201cThe company does not have any default track record for bond investors,\u201d he said.
Until September, the secondary market remained arid for about a year since Vodafone papers<\/a> had yielded as high as 42.9 percent in October 2019.
Local mutual funds and a Mumbai-based new generation private bank have reportedly sold those papers to high networth individuals or foreign distressed funds, market sources said.
\u201cThere are informed bargain-hunters in the bond market who would be buying these bonds at a discount,\u201d said Joydeep Sen, a consultant at Phillip Capital. \u201cThere would be jittery investors who want to move out.\u201d

Of late, there is some positive news-flow as the cash-starved telecom company added customers in January, the first time in 14 months.
Vi has been trying to raise offshore funds, which could be hybrid of nature like convertible instruments. Local lenders look averse to lending any new money unless there is any fund infusion, either from global investors or by the parent company itself.
Vi is believed to have dialled a new set of US-based private equity players, including KKR and Carlyle Group, to secure around $2-2.5 billion (Rs 14,500-18,100 crore) funding after its recent fundraising talks with the Oak Hill-led consortium went sour, ET reported on March 16.

<\/a><\/div>Vodafone Idea reportedly shelves original fundraising plans; eyes to raise Rs 10,000 crore via NCD<\/h4><\/a><\/div><\/a><\/div>Airtel joins Jio, Vodafone Idea in making upfront payments to DoT for spectrum<\/h4><\/a><\/div><\/div>
Of late, there is some positive news-flow as the cash-starved telecom company added customers in January, the first time in 14 months.
Vi has been trying to raise offshore funds, which could be hybrid of nature like convertible instruments. Local lenders look averse to lending any new money unless there is any fund infusion, either from global investors or by the parent company itself.
Vi is believed to have dialled a new set of US-based private equity players, including KKR and Carlyle Group, to secure around $2-2.5 billion (Rs 14,500-18,100 crore) funding after its recent fundraising talks with the Oak Hill-led consortium went sour, ET reported on March 16.

<\/a><\/div>Airtel joins Jio, Vodafone Idea in making upfront payments to DoT for spectrum<\/h4><\/a><\/div><\/div>
Of late, there is some positive news-flow as the cash-starved telecom company added customers in January, the first time in 14 months.
Vi has been trying to raise offshore funds, which could be hybrid of nature like convertible instruments. Local lenders look averse to lending any new money unless there is any fund infusion, either from global investors or by the parent company itself.
Vi is believed to have dialled a new set of US-based private equity players, including KKR and Carlyle Group, to secure around $2-2.5 billion (Rs 14,500-18,100 crore) funding after its recent fundraising talks with the Oak Hill-led consortium went sour, ET reported on March 16.
