“The Company’s financial performance has impacted its ability to generate the cash flow that it needs to settle/ refinance its liabilities and guarantees as they fall due, which along with its financial condition is resulting in material uncertainty that casts significant doubt on the Company’s ability to make the payments mentioned therein and continue as a going concern,” Vodafone Idea said in its earnings release.

Shares of the company on Tuesday settled at Rs 9.95 apiece on the BSE, down more than a percent from previous close.
