The Supreme Court is likely to hear the Department of Telecommunications’ plea to allow telecom companies to pay adjusted gross revenue related liabilities over 20 years instead of a one-time settlement.

Telecom companies, especially Vodafone Idea, will remain in focus, as any reprieve by the apex court would help them stay afloat during the current tough market conditions.
