No decision taken by Cabinet on telecom relief package

The much-awaited relief package for financially stressed telecom sector was not taken up by the Cabinet at its meeting on Wednesday, sources said.

The telecom sector has been keenly watching out for the relief package, which sources said could include redefinition of Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) to exclude non-telecom items, cut in levies such as Spectrum Usage Charges and easier terms and conditions for surrendering radiowaves to the government.
