The government is set to offer Vodafone Idea (Vi) a major breather by proposing a four- to five-year moratorium on its ₹83,000 crore AGR dues.
The plan, awaiting Cabinet approval, could see Vi paying around half of the total liabilities after a reassessment, with the balance cleared through structured instalments.
The interest-free window and potential reduction aim to ease the telco’s financial stress and help it remain competitive in India’s tough telecom market. The move signals a strategic effort to support Vi and ensure stability in the sector.
