The company has argued that the demand goes beyond the Supreme Court’s earlier ruling on AGR liabilities. The DoT, however, told the court that the dues are not a reassessment. It said the figure arises from gaps identified during the finalisation of financial accounts.
Out of the total demand, Rs 2,774 crore relates to Vodafone Idea’s post-merger entity. Another Rs 5,675 crore pertains to pre-merger liabilities of the Vodafone Group. Vodafone Idea has disputed the computation. It claims some figures were duplicated and has sought a fresh reconciliation of dues dating back to the pre-FY17 period.
The company has also been in talks with lenders for fresh funding. The telco reiterated its commitment to continue capital expenditure. It is also exploring both banking and non-banking funding options. Past government relief measures, such as spectrum payment deferments, reform packages, and conversion of dues into equity, have supported the sector. Vodafone Idea has urged that the current dispute be settled before March 2026 to ensure timely funding.
India's third-largest telecom operator, Vodafone Idea is backed by Aditya Birla Group and Vodafone Group. The company holds 5G spectrum in 17 circles and mmWave spectrum in 16 circles, offering services across 2G, 4G and expanding 5G networks.
On a consolidated basis, Vodafone Idea's net loss stood at Rs 6,608.1 crore in Q1 FY26 higher than Rs 6,432.1 crore in Q1 FY25. Revenue from operations rose 4.9% YoY to Rs 11,022.5 crore from Rs 10,508.3 crore in Q1 FY25.
Minister of State for Rural Development and Communications Pemmasani Chandra Sekhar told the media on August 25 that the government has already extended significant relief by converting part of Vodafone Idea’s debt into equity, and that there are currently no discussions or plans for further support. He noted that the government has done all it could in terms of relief measures so far.
He further explained that any decision on additional AGR relief would require clearance from the Union Cabinet, involving the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), the Finance Ministry, Telecom Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia and the Department of Telecommunications (DoT).
The remarks came after media reports last week suggested that the government was weighing a fresh package to ease Vodafone Idea’s burden. Proposals reportedly under discussion included extending the moratorium period, flexible repayment timelines, and waivers on penalties and interest.
Vodafone Idea faces AGR dues of around Rs 83,400 crore, with annual obligations of nearly Rs 18,000 crore kicking in from March 2025. CEO Akshaya Moondra has repeatedly warned that the company’s survival depends on securing new funding, which has been constrained by lingering uncertainty over AGR liabilities.
