The government on Wednesday froze Vodafone Idea Ltd’s (Vi) adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues at ₹87,695 crore as of December 31, 2025, and allowed the telecom operator to repay the amount over 10 years from fiscal 2032 to fiscal 2041.
The cabinet decision, announced following Vi’s request for relief after recent Supreme Court orders, aims to protect the government’s 49% stake in the company acquired earlier this year and maintain competition in the sector.
