Vodafone Idea (Vi) shares surged nearly 4% on December 2 after Union Telecom Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia hinted at the Centre finalizing the telecom company's AGR relief recommendations in the coming weeks.
DoT is waiting for a formal request from Vodafone. Govt will make a recommendation after evaluating Vodafone Idea’s proposal.
Judgement needs to be evaluated from a point of view of what can be done and what cannot be done. We cannot cross the border of the SC judgement.
SC judgement is for Vodafone Idea and therefore any govt recommendations are for Vodafone Idea. Any other company which wants similar relief will have to approach the Supreme Court.
The government became the largest shareholder in Vodafone Idea in March this year after converting dues worth Rs 36,950 crore into equity, taking its stake to nearly 49 percent.
Earlier, in 2023, the Centre had picked up a 33 percent stake in lieu of statutory dues exceeding Rs 16,000 crore.
