Vodafone Idea seeks urgent Supreme Court hearing on revenue dues

Vodafone Idea (Vi) has requested the Supreme Court to urgently consider its curative petition against a previous court order regarding its adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues. The company is seeking clarity on its liabilities in order to raise debt funding. Vi argues that the Department of Telecommunications made errors in calculating the final demand and that it was not given a hearing before the penalty was imposed. Both Vi and Bharti Airtel filed curative petitions in September 2021, following a Supreme Court order requiring telecom companies to pay their AGR dues over a 10-year period.
