Weak signals for Indus Towers after unfavorable SC verdict for Vi
Business Standard|September 27, 2024
An adverse judgment by the Supreme Court will impact Vodafone Idea (VIL) unfavorably and in turn, may have a negative impact on Indus Towers too.

The tower company also faces stiffer competition and potential loss of rental revenues.

The Supreme Court has rejected a curative petition for adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues to be recalculated. This leaves VIL with a net AGR debt of $8.5 billion equivalent (₹70,300 crore) as of the April-June quarter (Q1) of financial year 2025 (FY25) (of which about 20 per cent is the principal) in addition to spectrum dues of about $17 billion (₹1.4 trillion).

VIL also owes Indus Towers around ₹4,600 crore, which are operational dues it is clearing. The cash-strapped telecom services company was hoping for a judgment that substantially reduced its AGR dues. As a result of the judgment, it may be forced to slow down network rollout, and this will also lead to further loss of market share to Airtel and Jio.
