Vodafone Idea also stated that it continues to engage with the DoT for the removal of bank guarantee requirements for spectrum acquired before 2022.

Vodafone Idea shares fell over 9% to a 52-week low of ₹8.91 amid reports of the DoT’s notice for non-payment of bank guarantees for past spectrum dues. This is the fifth straight day of losses for the telecom player’s stock.

This notice comes as the DoT discusses with the finance ministry the possibility of waiving the bank guarantee requirement, although no decision has been finalised.

Today's sharp fall in the stock price came after it was reported that the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has issued a notice to Vodafone Idea.
