Vodafone Idea has received a significant reprieve regarding its Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) dues, with the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) freezing the liabilities and approving a structured repayment plan. The total AGR dues for the period from financial year 2006-07 to 2018-19 will remain frozen as of December 31, 2025. This development offers much-needed breathing room for the financially stressed telecom operator, which has been grappling with substantial liabilities. Under the newly unveiled timeline, Vodafone Idea is slated to pay a maximum of ₹124 crore annually over the next six years, specifically from March 2026 to March 2031. Following this initial phase, the company will pay ₹100 crore annually for four years, from March 2032 to March 2035. The remaining AGR dues will then be cleared in equal annual installments over another six years, spanning from March 2036 to March 2041. Crucially, a committee is to be constituted by the DoT to reassess the AGR dues, and its decision will be considered final. Any reassessed amount will also be repaid in equal annual installments between March 2036 and March 2041. This development offers substantial cash flow relief to Vodafone Idea, enabling it to better manage its operations and potentially invest in network upgrades. The news has also led to a positive reaction in the stock market, with Vodafone Idea's shares seeing a notable jump, reflecting investor confidence in the company's improved financial outlook. This staggered repayment schedule addresses a long-standing financial burden that has plagued the Indian telecom sector.
