The company added that the remaining adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues will be paid in equal annual instalments over six years starting March 2036. Vodafone Idea shares rose as much as 9 per cent in morning trade after details of the revised payment schedule emerged. AGR dues refer to payments telecom operators owe the government based on adjusted gross revenue. Apart from the frozen dues, AGR liabilities for 2017-18 and 2018-19, finalised following a Supreme Court order in September 2020, remain unchanged. Ambit Capital echoed that view, saying government action and possible gains from reassessment could help Vodafone Idea secure bank funding needed for survival capex.
