Bharti Airtel is set to request government intervention for relief in the contentious adjusted gross revenue (AGR) issue, spurred by a favorable Supreme Court ruling in Vodafone Idea's case.

On Monday, the Supreme Court stated that the government should reassess telecom companies' pending AGR dues, not limited to the 2016-17 period, opening doors for potential relief.

Airtel's Vice-Chairman and MD, Gopal Vittal, noted their intent to proceed with caution, step by step, emphasizing the company's commitment to engaging with the government following the court's decision.
