SC relief for Vi limited to Rs 9,449-crore additional AGR demand

The Supreme Court’s Monday order offers Vodafone Idea only a limited breather in the adjusted gross revenue (AGR) matter. According to the copy of the order uploaded by the SC on Wednesday, the apex court has allowed the government to revisit only the additional Rs 9,449-crore demand raised by the department of telecommunications (DoT) for the period up to 2016–17. The SC has said that the company’s petition before it sought relief only on this matter.
