No case for differential treatment to PSUs on AGR dues matter, says COAI

Industry body COAI said on Wednesday that AGR formula being applied on mobile operators should be applicable on all other categories of telecom licences and there can be no differential treatment for relevant PSUs in this regard.

“The question is are you a telecom licencee and if you are then the terms of the licence apply. The court has looked at the terms of the licence, so that same principle then should be applied on every licensed agreement, including for relevant PSUs,” Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) Director General, Rajan Mathews told PTI.
