MUMBAI: Telugu news channel Zee 24 Ghantalu will launch on 27 after obtaining the necessary government clearances.

The news channel for Uttar Pradesh is, however, awaiting the final clearances and may spill over to the first week of April.

"We are launching Zee 24 Ghantalu on 27 March. Our UP news channel launch will get slightly delayed as we are waiting for some final clearances," Zee News Ltd (ZNL) CEO Barun Das says.

Indiantelevision.com had earlier reported that ZNL would launch its two regional channels between 20 March and 31 March.
