The development comes after directions from the Supreme Court of India allowing the government to examine the company’s grievances related to AGR dues.

Earlier, the Department of Telecom (DoT) had frozen the telecom operator’s AGR dues at Rs 87,695 crore as of 31st December 2025, subject to review. The revised figure reflects the outcome of that reassessment process.

According to the company the dues will be repaid over a 10-year period, with a minimum payment of Rs 100 crore annually for four years from FY 2031-32 to FY 2034-35. The remaining amount will be paid in six equal annual installments from FY 2035-36 to FY 2040-41.
