Telecom company Vodafone Idea agreed the plan for the conversion of the full amount of interest related to spectrum auction instalments and AGR (Adjusted Gross Revenue) liable to the government in equity. This will make the government hold the largest stake of 35.8% of the company.

Adding to this, they also stated that, “Since the average price of the company’s shares at the relevant date 14.08.2021 was below par value, the equity shares will be issued to the government at par value of Rs 10 per share”.
