Airtel Seeks AGR Recalculation After VIL Relief

Airtel Seeks AGR Recalculation After VIL Relief

Airtel, a big telecom company in India, has asked the government to recalculate its AGR dues, which is money they owe based on their earnings.

This comes after another company, Vodafone-Idea, got some relief from the government on their similar dues.

Airtel's chairman, Sunil Mittal, said they want to fix any mistakes in the calculations and make sure they only pay what they actually owe.

The government has already frozen Vodafone-Idea's dues and extended their payment schedule.

Airtel hopes the government will consider their request and use the same rules for everyone.
