AGR dues: DoT seeks Rs 7,608 cr from GAIL for FY18, doesn’t press for full
The DoT has sought Rs 7,608 crore in dues from GAIL India for 2017-18 as the department appeared to be not pressing for immediate payment of Rs 1.83 trillion in past dues it had previously assessed from the state-owned gas utility.
The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) sent a notice to GAIL soon after the February 14 hearing in the Supreme Court on dues owned by telecom companies such as Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea, sources privy to the development said.
The dues now being sought from GAIL include a penalty for late payment, they said.
