Airtel to approach govt for AGR relief

Bharti Airtel on Tuesday said that it plans to approach the government seeking a reassessment of its adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues, a day after the Supreme Court clarified that the government could undertake a comprehensive review of Vodafone Idea’s AGR liabilities, including interest and penalties up to FY17. The move marks a fresh attempt by the telecom major to revisit its long-standing dispute over dues that it says were wrongly computed.
