BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

The expansion of NDTV in the beyond news space under NDTV Networks is proceeding as per schedule. The first Lifestyle channel is due to be launched in the next few weeks, and NDTV Convergence has developed new high revenue initiatives. With the receipt of $120 million dollars in funding, NDTV Networks has achieved funding for present business plans.

NDTV maintains a growth trend in its revenues and profits for its news and business channels. While costs are stabilized, NDTV is now the only news channel not to become tabloid and to retain credibility and highest standards. Advertisers are responding positively to this exclusive positioning by NDTV as other channels sensationalize and trivialize. NDTV Profit continues to enjoy the  highest viewership among business channels and is going from strength to strength.
