The Indian government has converted Rs 36,950 crore of Vodafone Idea's debt into equity.
The move is seen as a government's attempt to rescue the cash-strapped telecom company.
The conversion of debt into equity increases the government's stake in Vodafone Idea.
The future of Vodafone Idea is uncertain, as it remains to be seen if the government's infusion will lead to a strategic investment or just a temporary lifeline.
