Troubled operator Vodafone Idea Ltd. has paid Rs 3,043 crore more to the Department of Telecommunications towards deferred spectrum liability, sources said Tuesday.
Deferred spectrum dues are essentially instalment payments that are made by telcos for airwaves bought in past auctions.
The move assumes significance as Vodafone Idea has been under financial pressure and is confronted with AGR dues of over Rs 53,000 crore. It has so far paid Rs 3,500 crore in two tranches towards its liabilities.
