Vodafone Idea to get interest-free moratorium on Rs 83,000 crore AGR dues

• Vodafone Idea (Vi) is expected to receive an interest-free moratorium of 4-5 years on over Rs 83,000 crore in Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) dues.
• The total AGR liability for Vi is likely to be significantly reduced, potentially by half, following a reassessment by a government-appointed committee.
• After the moratorium, Vi will pay the arrears in six installments, with the decision awaiting Cabinet approval.
• This relief package, which freezes outstanding amounts and prevents further interest accrual, is specific to Vi and aims to help the company raise fresh capital.
• New York-based Tillman Global Holdings is reportedly negotiating a $4-6 billion investment in Vi, contingent on the government's relief package.
