markets Aviat Sustainability Department Courts Updates Mint Explainer | Why Vodafone Idea’s AGR relief won’t solve its survival challenge

Mint examines what relief the government is considering for Vodafone Idea, why AGR recalculation alone may not be enough, how high tariffs would need to rise for the company to remain viable, and whether India’s telecom market can sustain repeated price hikes without losing subscribers or competition.In October, the Supreme Court allowed the government to reassess Vodafone Idea’s adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues, which stood at ₹83,400 crore as of end of March 2025. The ruling came as a breather for the company, which has flagged concerns about its ability to survive beyond the current financial year without government support.AGR is the revenue base used to calculate licence fees and spectrum usage charges payable to the government.

There are a lot of reasons, some deserved and some not, for Americans' distrust of their institutions. Lately I have been thinking about one of the more counterintuitive ones: Schools, governments and even employers are trying too hard to make things fair.In doing so, they are not only setting themselves up for failure—and eventually mistrust—but they are also misunderstanding the galvanizing role that unfairness plays in a competitive economy.Unfairness can be tempered, but it can never be eliminated.

markets Action Food wellness Experts exclusive 2020 Mint explainer: Why is India’s food regulator cracking down on ‘herbal tea’?

Mint explains why the rule is being enforced now, who it affects, and what changes brands must make.The FSSAI has clarified that under the Food Safety and Standards Regulations, 2011, “tea”—including variants such as Kangra tea, green tea and instant tea—must be obtained exclusively from the plant Camellia sinensis. Any infusion or blend made from other plants, flowers or herbs does not meet this legal standard and therefore cannot be named or marketed as “tea”.The decision flows from the Labelling and Display Regulations, 2020, which require every food package to clearly indicate the “true nature” of the product.

steel prices in Q3FY26 to date are down 2-5% quarter-on-quarter, according to Antique Stock Broking.The impact is most visible in profitability. After Ebitda per tonne fell to ₹10,027 in Q2FY26, down 12.7% year-on-year and 36% sequentially, Nuvama Research expects a further decline in the December quarter (Q3FY26), to about ₹8,200. Ebitda is short for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.That implies a sequential drop of nearly ₹1,800 per tonne, driven by higher coking coal and iron ore costs.
