休斯网络公司会付清AGR会费，不会关门
印度电信部(DoT)估计休斯的AGR会费约为8400万美元(60亿卢比)。了解事态发展的人士表示，休斯已经完成了对其会费的自我评估——这可能会使负债低于政府的估计——并有望很快与电信部门解决这个问题。

“关于AGR费HCIPL控股公司休斯网络系统印度私人有限公司总裁Pranav Roach在回复一份详细的电子邮件问卷时告诉印度经济时报，“我们正在寻求完全遵守(最高法院的)命令，并打算解决所有的费用……我们在国内的服务在这个过程中或之后不会以任何方式中断。”
据报道，HCIPL曾致信交通部，声称如果被迫向政府支付8400万美元的AGR会费，该公司将破产并被迫关闭，罗奇试图缓解这封信引发的担忧。
去年10月，最高法院裁定AGR应包括非核心项目，这使得包括HCIPL在内的15家电信公司共同面临约16.4万亿卢比的AGR会费。
休斯公司是对该命令提出复审请愿的公司之一，该命令后来被驳回。休斯随后加入了Bharti之类的公司附近的旅馆沃达丰(Vodafone)和塔塔电信服务公司(Tata Teleservices)在10月24日提交了一份修改法院命令的申请，并要求获得与交通部谈判的许可，以获得更多时间来缴纳税款。
本月早些时候，法院在听取了这一请求后，指示所有公司在3月17日的下一次听证会之前全部缴纳会费。
休斯高管表示，“公司致力于印度，并继续作为一个良好的企业公民运营”，并补充说，该公司还将继续致力于“其员工、客户和利益相关者”，并将继续在印度提供高质量的通信和技术服务。
HCIPL拥有200多名员工，为多个国家提供卫星通信服务和卫星宽带连接行业行业，包括银行和金融、教育、石油和天然气、快速消费品和国防垂直行业。

<\/figure> Kolkata: US satellite communications provider Hughes Network<\/a> Systems has no plans to shut its Indian arm, Hughes Communications<\/a> India Pvt Ltd (HCIPL), and will clear its adjusted gross revenue (AGR<\/a>) dues to prevent any disruption or job losses of its in-country operation, a top official said.\u201cWith regards to AGR dues<\/a>, we are looking to fully comply with the orders (of the Supreme Court) and intend to settle all dues\u2026our in-country services will not be disrupted in any manner during or subsequent to the process,\u2019\u2019 Pranav Roach, president, Hughes Network Systems India Pvt Ltd, holding company of HCIPL, told ET in response to a detailed emailed questionnaire.
<\/div><\/div>The Department of Telecommunications<\/a> (DoT<\/a>) has estimated Hughes\u2019 AGR dues at around $84 million (Rs 600 crore). People aware of developments said Hughes has concluded self-assessments of its dues \u2014 which could peg liabilities at lower than government estimates \u2014 and is hopeful of resolving the matter with the telecom department shortly.
Roach was trying to allay fears sparked off by a letter reportedly sent by HCIPL to DoT, claiming the company would go bankrupt and be forced to shut down if compelled to fork out the $84 million AGR dues to the government.
Last October, the Supreme Court ruled that AGR should include non-core items, which left 15 telecom companies, including HCIPL, collectively facing AGR dues of around Rs 1.64 lakh crore.
Hughes was among companies that filed a review petition against the order that has since been rejected. Hughes then joined the likes of Bharti Airtel<\/a>, Vodafone and Tata Teleservices in filing a modification of the October 24 court order and asked for permission to negotiate with the DoT for more time to pay their dues.
Hearing the plea earlier this month, the court directed all companies to pay up dues by next date of hearing, which is March 17.
