Bharti Airtel is still in talks with the Centre to convert its adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues into equity, the company has told exchanges, even as the telecom operator is prepared to meet the payment obligations arising out of it.

"We have written to the government to be extended the same relief as any other telco, and that is a decision that the government has to take. We will abide by whatever decision they take," Gopal Vittal, vice chairman and managing director of the Sunil Mittal-promoted telecom services provider, said in the earnings call for the first quarter of the financial year 2026 (Q1FY26).
