The Supreme Court's verdict on the much-awaited AGR case that came on 1 September, has gotten experts worrying about Vodafone Idea's survival. With a massive due of Rs 58,000 crores in adjusted gross revenues that is owed to the government, will Vodafone Idea sink or swim?

The verdict on AGR for the debt-laden telecom companies including Bharti Airtel and Tata Teleservices may have struck a bargain, by allowing a 10-year timeline for the telecos to make staggered payments of these AGR dues in concern. But if for Bharti Airtel, the ruling gives a decent shot at survival, for Vodafone it's looking like a choice between merely surviving or shutting shop.

Why is the ruling not looking favourable for Vodafone Idea? Why has it come to a point to mere survival for the company? And if it fails to survive what could be the implications of that in the market? Tune in The Big Story!
