Vodafone Idea shares rose over 4 percent after news of Rs 5,836 crore settlement, Vodafone to release Rs 2,307 crore to Vi in next 12 months under new agreement, Cabinet likely approved five-year moratorium on Vodafone Idea's AGR dues

* Vodafone Idea shares rose over 4 percent after news of Rs 5,836 crore settlement
* Vodafone to release Rs 2,307 crore to Vi in next 12 months under new agreement
* Cabinet likely approved five-year moratorium on Vodafone Idea's AGR dues

Vodafone Idea shares rose over 4% after Vodafone Group agreed to pay Rs 5,836 crore under a liability claim pact. The Cabinet likely approved a five-year moratorium on AGR dues, but Vi said it hasn't received official communication on the relief yet.

* Vodafone Idea shares rose over 4 percent after news of Rs 5,836 crore settlement
* Vodafone to release Rs 2,307 crore to Vi in next 12 months under new agreement
* Cabinet likely approved five-year moratorium on Vodafone Idea's AGR dues

Vodafone Idea shares rose more than 4 percent in early trade on January 1 as the telco will receive around Rs 5,836 crore from Vodafone Group as part of re-settlement of a liability claim pact between the two companies, according to regulatory filings of both companies.

Under the revised agreement, Vodafone Group promoters will release Rs 2,307 crore over the next 12 months for Vodafone Idea as per the terms agreed in the amendment agreement.

Vodafone Group has also set aside its 328 crore shares held in Vi for Vi's benefit.

A Contingent Liability Adjustment Mechanism (CLAM) was entered between Vodafone Group and Vodafone Idea (Vi) at the time of the 2017 merger agreement between Vodafone India and Idea Cellular and covers pre-merger contingent liabilities in relation to legal, regulatory, tax, and other matters of the two merging parties.

Under the CLAM, Vodafone's maximum exposure was capped at Rs 8,369 crore at the time of the merger and taking into account payments already made, the reduced exposure was capped at Rs 6,394 crore and the deadline for the pact after an extension was December 31, 2025.

This comes after the Union Cabinet likely approved a five-year moratorium on the company’s adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues.

On the National Stock Exchange, the stock touched an intraday high of Rs 11.28, up 4.83 percent. It later pared some gains to trade at Rs 11.23 at around 9.45 am, still up 4.37 percent.

The Cabinet on December 31 likely approved a proposal to freeze Vodafone Idea’s AGR dues at Rs 87,695 crore as of December 31 and reschedule the repayments over FY2032–41. The decision also allows for a reassessment of the dues by a government-appointed panel, government sources told Moneycontrol.

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) will reassess the dues based on deduction-verification guidelines and audit findings. A committee appointed by the government will determine the final payable amount, which will be binding on both the company and the Centre.

The move was taken in public interest and to avoid excessive concentration in the telecom sector, government sources said.

However, after market hours on Wednesday, Vodafone Idea said it had not received any communication from the government regarding the reported AGR relief.

The shares of tobacco companies sharply dropped in trade on January 1 after the government imposed new excise duty on cigarettes.

<a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/diversified/itc/ITC">ITC</a> shares dropped more than 6 percent to Rs 378.45 apiece, leading losses on the Nifty 50 index. <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/cigarettes/godfreyphillipsindia/GPI">Godfrey Phillips India</a> shares meanwhile tumbled 10 percent to Rs 2,484.80 apiece in the morning trading hours of Thursday.
<h3>Central Excise (Amendment) Bill, 2025:</h3>
The Parliament in December approved the Central Excise (Amendment) Bill, 2025, clearing the way for a sharp increase in duties on cigarettes and other tobacco products. It replaces a temporary levy on cigarettes and tobacco products.

The excise duty would be imposed on cigarettes in addition to a 40 percent GST, according to an order issued late on Wednesday. The finance ministry notified that an excise duty of Rs 2,050–8,500 per 1,000 sticks, depending on cigarette length, will take effect from February 1.

Total taxes on cigarettes in India currently account for about 53 percent of the retail prices, well below the World Health Organization (WHO) benchmark of 75 percent which is aimed at discouraging consumption. This includes a 28 percent goods and services tax and additional value-based levy based on the size of the cigarettes.

The duty translates into a 22-28 percent increase in overall costs for 75-85 mm cigarettes, analysts at ICICI Securities said. "Cigarettes longer than 75 mm account for roughly 16% of ITC's volumes and are likely to see price increases of 2–3 rupees per stick as a result of the levy," they said.
<h3>Tobacco stocks:</h3>
ITC shares have fallen nearly 6 percent in the past five days, and over 8 percent in the past six months. The shares currently have a P/E ratio of 25.02, and a market capitalisation of Rs 4,76,225 crore.

Godfrey Phillips India shares fell around 12 percent in the past five days, and around 16 percent in the past six months. The stock however jumped 48 percent in 2025. Its P/E ratio stands at 43.45, and market capitalisation at Rs 38,864 crore.
