Birla flags reset for Vodafone Idea

Aditya Birla Group Chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla on Wednesday said Vodafone Idea can finally move out of survival mode and begin planning for sustainable growth after the long-running adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dispute was resolved, marking what he described as a structural reset for the company and the wider telecom sector.

In his My Reflections 2025–2026 note, Birla said regulatory clarity on AGR has removed the single biggest uncertainty hanging over the business for years, allowing the operator to recalibrate its strategy beyond short-term firefighting.
