Smita Paliwal Comments on Supreme Court’s Decision Allowing Centre to Reconsider Vodafone Idea’s AGR Dues

In a recent Business Standard article on the Supreme Court’s decision permitting the Central Government to revisit Vodafone Idea’s Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) dues, Smita Paliwal shared her insights on the potential impact of the ruling.

Smita observed, “For Vi, this opens a critical window to negotiate relief through recalibration of dues or extended payment timelines, though it does not imply any automatic waiver.”

She further added, “The court’s emphasis on bringing ‘finality’ ensures that past liabilities cannot be endlessly reopened, creating much-needed regulatory certainty.”

Her analysis highlights the nuanced balance between ensuring regulatory stability and providing commercial flexibility in India’s telecom sector.
