Telecom major Vodafone Idea stands to lose the top spot both in terms of revenues and subscribers, unless it focuses on consolidating its business operations in the nine to ten circles where it enjoys a dominant position, experts said.

Analysts at SBICAP Securities said Vodafone Idea is faced with a complex network integration and spectrum re-farming. The brokerage firm sees the telecom company’s revenue market share declining to 25 per cent, from the current 30 per cent.

It also said that despite plans to enhance 4G data capacity by two-and-a-half times, the company may find it difficult to retain market share.
