Vodafone Idea Shares Up 14% on Govt Weighing Interest-Free AGR Moratorium

• Government is considering a 4-5 year interest-free moratorium on Vodafone Idea's AGR dues, which exceed ₹83,000 crore.
• A committee will be formed to determine the final payable amount, potentially reducing it significantly, with payments in six installments after the moratorium.
• This special relief package aims to freeze Vodafone Idea's dues and stop interest accumulation, unlike the previous moratorium.
• The resolution of AGR issues is crucial for Vodafone Idea to raise new funds, with a ₹25,000 crore plan and potential investment from Tillman Global Holdings.
• The Indian government is currently Vodafone Idea's largest shareholder with 48.99% stake after converting past dues into equity.

Why It Matters: Government relief could save Vodafone Idea, attracting new investment.
