Vodafone Idea must clear Indus Towers dues to avail tower company’s new services: Sunil Mittal

Vodafone Idea (Vi) should clear all of Indus Towers’ past dues, else the struggling telco won’t be allowed to use the tower company’s infrastructure for any new services such as 5G, Bharti Airtel chairman Sunil Mittal said. Airtel is the largest stakeholder in Indus Towers, with around 48% stake.

“They (Vodafone Idea) will not get new services until they pay money. They have a lot of old dues which they need to pay up. They have raised money, now they should be able to pay up,” Mittal told ET.
