Tata Sons May Inject Capital into Tata Tele as AGR Dues Exceed ₹19,000 Crore

Tata Sons Ltd may need to infuse fresh capital into its struggling telecom unit, Tata Teleservices Ltd (TTSL), as AGR and related dues to the Indian government rise to ₹19,256 crore. With a negative net worth of ₹17,876 crore, TTSL lacks the means to meet its obligations. Despite issuing a support letter, Tata Sons faces pressure after the Supreme Court rejected telecom companies' pleas for AGR relief. The company had earlier opted for a telecom relief package. As of FY25, TTSL posted a ₹994 crore loss on ₹3,626 crore revenue, highlighting the ongoing financial stress in India’s telecom sector.
