Vodafone Idea may file review petition to lower AGR dues

Mumbai: Vodafone Idea (Vi) is considering exhausting all legal options, including filing a review petition in the Supreme Court if necessary, in the hope of having its adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues reduced, several people familiar with the matter said.

The cash-strapped telco, which has pegged reduction in AGR dues as among key factors to ensure its viability, is likely to start with filing a review petition against the top court’s order last week junking pleas filed by itself, Bharti Airtel and Tata Teleservices, seeking a recalculation of their AGR liabilities due to arithmetical errors.
