DoT rules out Vi-like relief for Airtel, Tata Teleservices; telcos must pay 10,000 cr AGR dues by March 31

Bharti Airtel and Tata Teleservices face a March 31 deadline to pay approximately 10,000 crore in adjusted gross revenue dues. This payment is mandated by a Supreme Court order. Unlike Vodafone Idea, these companies have not received specific relief. Failure to comply will be considered contempt of court. Bharti Airtel owes over 5,000 crore, and Tata Teleservices over 4,000 crore.
