Group chairman Subhash Chandra today dismissed industry
speculation that the government was about to ease the restrictions
on DTH broadcast in India.
Speaking on the sidelines of a media briefing announcing
the go-ahead of his Agrani satellite project, Chandra said
he did not see DTH happening anytime soon.
There has been some speculation that the information & broadcasting
ministry, in conjunction with the communications and IT
ministry and the Prime Minister's Office, is likely to soon
raise the FDI bar to 49 per cent from the current 20 per
cent in DTH ventures. Other anomalies in the DTH policy
announced last year like cross media restrictions were also
supposed to go.
