Vodafone Idea (Vi), the third-largest telecom operator in India, has been very vocal about the surprise and how it is “inconceivable” for it to understand that the Supreme Court (SC) can’t order a rectification in errors made by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) while calculating the adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues.
