Vodafone Idea to file curative petition if review plea is rejected

Kolkata/Mumbai: Vodafone Idea (Vi) will file a curative petition if the Supreme Court rejects its review plea seeking correction of what it calls errors in the telecom department’s calculation of statutory payment arrears, managing director Ravinder Takkar said on Monday.

The court on July 23 ordered Vi to pay the adjusted gross revenue (AGR)-based dues as demanded by the Department of Telecommunications, rejecting the telecom operator’s contention that the calculation to arrive at the figure of Rs 58,254 crore was erroneous.
