Vodafone Idea ends higher after govt trims AGR dues to Rs 64,046 cr

Vodafone Idea rallied 3.03% to settle at Rs 10.53 after the government pared the adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues by 27% to 64,046 crore as of 31st December 2025 following a reassessment of statutory liabilities.

The development comes after directions from the Supreme Court of India allowing the government to examine the company?s grievances related to AGR dues.

Earlier, the Department of Telecom (DoT) had frozen the telecom operator?s AGR dues at Rs 87,695 crore as of 31st December 2025, subject to review. The revised figure reflects the outcome of that reassessment process.
