Mumbai: British mobile phone giant Vodafone said on Monday that it was in talks to merge its Indian unit with Idea Cellular in a move that would create India’s largest telecoms company.

The confirmation ended months of speculation that the two operators were exploring a deal to help fend off Reliance Jio whose recent arrival shook up India’s ultra-competitive mobile network market.

It also sent Idea shares soaring by a whopping 29.2 percent on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).
