what happened
India’s telecom sector generated adjusted gross revenue (AGR) of 88,796 crore rupees in the April-June 2026 quarter, Newsmetry API reports. The figure was 9.19% higher than a year earlier and rose 2.40% from the previous quarter, according to the latest performance report from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai).
AGR serves as the revenue base for operators’ licence fees and selected spectrum charges. Access services, covering mobile and fixed-line connectivity, contributed 83.85% of the sector’s total AGR. Licence fee collections increased 9.18% year on year to 17,103 crore rupees.
Reliance Jio remained the largest contributor, with AGR of 33,226 crore rupees and roughly 44.62% of segment revenue. Bharti Group recorded 29,803 crore rupees and a 40.03% share, while Vodafone Idea posted 8,448 crore rupees, equivalent to 11.35%.
why it matters
The AGR increase is accompanied by higher licence fee collections because the metric is used to calculate those payments. The revenue split also underscores Reliance Jio’s and Bharti Group’s leading positions in India’s telecom segment.
