Won't be able to operate post FY26 without govt's timely support on AGR: Vodafone Idea told DoT

Vodafone Idea has warned the Telecom Department that it may not survive beyond FY26 without government support on AGR dues, as crucial bank funding discussions hinge on this. The telco has requested a waiver of interest and penalties on AGR dues, proposing a revised payment schedule to avoid potential collapse and protect its 200 million subscribers and government stake.
