Government caps Vodafone Idea’s AGR payouts for six years, pushes bulk dues beyond 2036

For Vodafone Idea, a telecom operator weighed down by years of debt and regulatory dues, the government’s latest move offers breathing space, but not a clean slate.

In a stock exchange filing on Friday, Vodafone Idea said the Centre has capped its annual payouts to clear past dues at Rs 124 crore for the next six years, easing immediate pressure on cash flows.
