Vodafone Idea to seek waiver after court ruling on overdue payments

New Delhi: Loss-making Indian mobile carrier Vodafone Idea said on Friday it will ask the central government for relief on payments of at least USD 4 billion after a court ruling required it to pay overdue levies and interest.

India’s Supreme Court on Thursday upheld a demand by the country’s Department of Telecommunications (DoT) that wireless carriers pay nearly USD 13 in overdue levies and interest.
