The issue or network outage is the latest obstacle in the way of Vodafone-Idea which is finding it hard to compete in the Indian market. After Supreme Court's ruling from Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) recently, the company posted its biggest-ever loss. The company has repeatedly said in the past that if the Indian government does not do anything, Vodafone's operations in India may "collapse".
Earlier this week, Vodafone-Idea said in a statement that outlook for Vodafone-Idea "remains critical".
