Shares of telecom companies - Vodafone Idea (Voda Idea), Bharti Airtel and Tata Teleservices (Maharashtra) (TTML) ended on a mixed note on Monday after the Supreme Court dismissed the petitions moved by them seeking a waiver on long-standing adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues.  The telcos were looking for a relief related to payment of interest, penalty, and interest on penalty components as part of their AGR dues.    Voda Idea, in particular, witnessed a sharp fall and the stock ended nearly 9 per cent lower amid reports that the telecom firm flagged it may not be able to operate beyond FY26, without support from banks or the government.  On Tuesday, in early trade, these 3 telecom shares were seen trading on a flat note - Voda Idea traded around ₹6.73 levels. Bharti Airtel was at ₹1,818, and TTML at 60.  Follow Stock Market Latest Updates Today LIVE  Against this background, here's a trading guide in Voda Idea, Bharti Airtel and TTML stocks.
