New Delhi Television Limited (NDTV) is a pioneer in India's news television and digital journalism sector. Founded in 1988 by Radhika Roy and Prannoy Roy, NDTV began as a production house for news segments contracted by the public broadcaster Doordarshan. It transitioned into India's first independent news network, launching the country's first 24x7 news channel in partnership with Star India in 1998. In 2003, it established itself as an independent broadcasting network with the simultaneous launch of the Hindi news channel NDTV India and the English news channel NDTV 24x7. Over more than three decades, it has grown into a formidable global news network operating across both traditional television and rapidly expanding digital platforms. The company's extensive broadcasting portfolio includes prominent national channels such as NDTV 24x7, NDTV India, and the business-focused NDTV Profit. Expanding its footprint globally and regionally, the network operates NDTV World alongside localized channels like NDTV Madhya Pradesh & Chhattisgarh, NDTV Rajasthan, and NDTV Marathi. In addition to television broadcasting, NDTV has built a massive digital ecosystem. Its flagship website, [suspicious link removed], managed under its digital media business, serves as a premier portal for internet and mobile content. The group's online platforms have accumulated over 40 billion video views, boasting a combined social media following of over 102 million and more than 45 million subscribers across its YouTube channels. A major milestone in the company's corporate history occurred in late 2022 when the Adani Group, through AMG Media Networks Limited and its subsidiaries, acquired a majority controlling stake of 64.71% in NDTV. This marked a significant shift in the company’s ownership, management, and strategic direction. Following this transition, the company has continued to streamline its corporate structure; in the 2025-2026 fiscal year, subsidiaries including NDTV Media Limited, NDTV Networks Limited, NDTV Labs Limited, and NDTV Worldwide Limited were officially merged into the parent entity. Headquartered in Noida, India, with major operational hubs in New Delhi and Mumbai, the company is publicly traded on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). The executive leadership team features prominent industry figures, including Chief Executive Officer and Editor-in-Chief Rahul Kanwal, Whole-Time Director Sanjay Pugalia, and Non-Executive Chairman U K Sinha. Beyond news delivery, NDTV is recognized for its pioneering public service campaigns and social initiatives, including the India Sustainability Mission, Save Our Tigers, and Greenathon, which have spotlighted environmental, cultural, and social welfare issues across the nation.
