Big blow for telcos as Supreme Court denies any relief on AGR

Telecom operators, Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel, suffered a big blow on Thursday with the Supreme Court rejecting their curative plea seeking correction in arithmetical errors by the department of telecommunications in computing their adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues arising out of a 2019 order.

A curative petition is filed by petitioners as a last resort if they feel that there has been an error in judgment by the court.
