AGR relief to Vodafone Idea based on SC ruling, others must follow same route: Scindia
The Daily Guardian
|January 22, 2026
Amid reports that other large telecom operators are seeking equitable treatment on adjusted gross revenue (AGR) liabilities following the government's decision to grant Vodafone Idea a 10-year moratorium, Union Minister of Communications Jyotiraditya M. Scindia on Wednesday clarified that the relief was granted strictly on the basis of a Supreme Court judgment and does not automatically extend to other players.
Responding to a question by ANI on whether the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has received any official communication from other telcos seeking similar relief, Scindia said the government's decision was rooted in the apex court's recognition of Vodafone Idea as a special case.
