Vodafone Idea (Vi) shares will remain in focus today, October 13, 2025, as the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the company’s plea seeking relief in its long-standing Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) dues case, with total liabilities estimated at around ₹2 trillion.
In its petition, the telecom operator has urged the apex court to quash a fresh ₹9,450 crore levy raised by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) for the period 2016–2019, citing duplication and calculation errors. The company has also sought waiver of interest and penalties worth ₹30,000–₹45,000 crore on dues up to FY19, highlighting severe financial distress.
Additionally, Vodafone Idea has requested an extension of payment terms beyond the current 2026 moratorium, arguing that recalculated dues and relaxed repayment schedules are critical for its operational survival.
The Supreme Court’s verdict on the matter will be pivotal for the financially stressed telecom operator. A favourable ruling could provide Vi crucial relief and preserve competition in India’s telecom market, while an unfavourable outcome might bring the company closer to insolvency.
