Vodafone Idea shares surged nearly 10% in intraday trade after the Supreme Court allowed the government to reconsider the company's adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues.
The Supreme Court's decision is seen as a key breather for the debt-ridden telecom operator, which has been struggling under the burden of massive AGR liabilities for years.
The AGR matter falls within the Centre's policy domain, giving the government the freedom to relook into Vodafone Idea's request for reassessment.
The court made it clear that there is "no impediment" to the Union government taking an appropriate decision in the case, potentially opening the door for a possible reduction in dues.
Vodafone Idea trades 1% higher after trimming gains.
