Zee Business TV revealed this big development by saying, "Telecom stocks rise on expected AGR relief in the upcoming Modi Cabinet meeting. The central cabinet is expected to give 15 years AGR relief to the telecom companies, which is a big relief for Vodafone Idea and Airtel. Vodafone Idea has to pay around Rs 53,000 crore to the government while it has paid only Rs 3,500 crore, which is a mere 6 per cent of the net liability. This cabinet relief on AGR will make Aitel more comfortable as it has already paid around Rs 18,000 crore out of Rs 35,500 crore amount to be paid by the telecom company."

The report further added that it will have a positive impact on the banking sector as these telecom companies will now be able to repay their bank loans gradually. It will help banks to recover their money as the accounts will no longer become NPAs (Non Performing Assets).

The stocks that may benefit from this expected Modi Cabinet decision on the telecom AGR relief, apart from Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel, includes banking stocks like SBI, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank shares.
