Vodafone Idea AGR case: Supreme Court allows Centre to review dues, shares surge over 9% – key highlights

The Supreme Court on Monday, 27 October, allowed the central government to address Vodafone Idea’s grievances and re-evaluate the demand for adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues without court intervention.

The top court’s verdict comes after Vodafone Idea last month submitted a petition challenging the Department of Telecommunications’ (DoT) demand for an additional ₹9,450 crore in AGR dues. These dues are calculated based on licence fees and spectrum charges that telecom companies are required to pay to the government.
