At 9:18 am, the share price of Vodafone Idea was trading 8.11 percent lower to Rs 3.40 per share while Bharti Airtel and Bharti Infratel were trading 2.94 percent and 6.05 percent respectively.

In intraday, the stock price of Vodafone Idea tanked 15 percent at Rs 3.15 per share on the NSE. Meanwhile, Bharti Infratel's shares plunged 6.88 percent at Rs 202.70.

The DoT has given an option to telecom operators to clear all the dues on self-assessment.

Last month, the telecom operators received a setback as the SC rejected their definition of AGR. The apex court said, "We give three months' time to deposit the amount, which is due and compliance be reported."
