Optimism Around AGR Dues Spurs 1.19% Uptick in Vodafone Idea Shares

Vodafone Idea’s shares rose modestly following positive developments in its ongoing Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) dues case. The Department of Telecommunications’ (DoT) demand of ₹9,450 crore has been challenged by the company, which cited duplication and errors, attributing ₹2,774 crore to post-merger and ₹5,675 crore to pre-merger Vodafone Group liabilities.

The Supreme Court deferred the hearing on the plea to 26 September 2025, after the Indian government indicated it does not oppose the company’s request. With the Centre holding a 49% equity stake, officials noted that “some solution may be required,” providing clarity on the legal front that has been a significant overhang for the stock.
