The shares witnessed a strong response of investors, because 128.6 crore shares of trade on the NSE changed with the total traded value registered on RS 1.117.51 Crore. It closed the Tuesday session at RS 8.75 and won 4.3%
The share has been quite volatile in the midst of developments around the AGR problem with news about government dependence on many occasions followed by the refusal.
The Supreme Court will hear a case about the plea of the telecom operator that challenges the Department of Telecoms (DOT) additional AGR support of RS 9,450 Crore.
AGR -Disputes
Vodafone Idea has submitted a petition to the Apex Court to destroy the requirement of the DOT and to claim that the RS 9,450 Crore Claim “goes beyond the scope of the earlier statement of the Apex Court about AGR obligations. Of the total question, about RS 2,774 CRORE relates to the post-merger entity, while RS 5,675 CRORE relates to liabilities of the Vodafone Group’s pre-fusion.
The company argues that the calculation includes duplication of figures and has sought a reconciliation of the rights, starting with the pre-FY17 period. For its part, the DOT has told the court that the requirement “is not a reassessment or recalculation, but dates from the training of current reports”, whereby officials indicate the discrepancy after being concluded after a financial account.
Stakes for financing and activities
The outcome of the hearing has a high commitment to the idea of Vodafone, which is in conversation with money lenders to obtain extra financing. During the June -Quarter profit call, CEO Akshaya Moondra said that “lenders were waiting for clarity about the AGR issue before they continue with financing plans.”
Moondra added that the company ‘deals with the government’ and emphasized that a rapid resolution would enable it to continue with capital expenditure and its broader financing strategy.
Vodafone Idea, weighed by debts and pending contribution, has benefited from government -dependent measures in the past, including a postponement of spectrum payments, reform packages and the conversion of obligations in equity. The Telco has insisted that the current dispute for March will be resolved to guarantee timely financing schemes.
The shares of the telecom operator have fallen slightly more than 16% in the past year, but the share has so far increased by 9.2% in 2025.
