VI AGR Dues Hearing Details
Vodafone Idea has challenged the Department of Telecom’s additional demand of ₹9,450 crore in AGR dues by filing a fresh writ petition in the Supreme Court.

Despite government support measures in the past, including converting dues into equity, the firm continues to grapple with a total AGR dues burden estimated at over ₹83,000 crore. The hearing comes at a crucial time as Vodafone Idea seeks timely resolution and potential relief before dues payments escalate from March 2026.
