ISPs and Non-Telcos Seek AGR Dues Relief After Vodafone Idea's Government Support

Following relief granted to Vodafone Idea on its adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues, hundreds of standalone internet service providers (ISPs) and other non-telecom companies are demanding similar government support. These firms collectively owe thousands of crores in AGR dues, stemming from a 2019 Supreme Court ruling. Industry representatives argue that smaller firms are financially strained and require a waiver or similar relief, citing the government's recent package for Vodafone Idea as a precedent. DoT officials, however, indicate that such relief for other companies may require Supreme Court approval.
