Supreme Court to hear Vi plea on Rs 9,450 crore AGR-related dues

Cash-strapped Vodafone Idea (Vi) has again moved the Supreme Court, questioning the government’s move to raise an additional demand of Rs 9,450 crore toward Adjusted gross Revenue (AGR)-related dues until FY19. The instalment of the AGR dues, including the additional amount, is due by March 31, 2026.

The telco challenged the additional demand by the department of telecommunications (DoT) citing earlier Supreme Court judgements, which had sealed the amount until FY17 and refused to alter or change the liability.
