Days after the telecom regulator had asked Vodafone Idea to put on hold its RedX premium tariff plan, the telecom major on Monday filed an application in the telecom tribunal to challenge the order passed by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) on July 11.

Vodafone Idea has moved the Telecom Disputes Settlement & Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) as it was reportedly not happy with the order, which was passed in a hasty manner without giving the company any chance to respond on an important matter such as tariff. The telecom JV between UK's Vodafone Group Plc and India's Aditya Birla Group was of the view that there was no violation of tariff regulation on this plan.
