'Bharat Uday'- A New Dawn on the Indian Television Advertising Scenario : An AdEx India Analysis


(4 February 2004)
 
 
The "Bharat Uday" campaign by the BJP-led NDA government, to stoke up the "feel good" factor, has been one of the most talked about campaigns by Indian government in recent times. We at AdEx India analyzed this campaign funded by the Ministry of Finance for the months of Dec 03 and Jan 04. It has been the second most frequently telecasted brand on TV for this period in terms of no of ads aired. There were as many as 9472 ads aired on around 100 channels that AdEx India monitors.
 
This becomes even more significant when we look at total advertising duration of the campaign across two months. Due to the longer ads that were placed, the "Bharat Uday" Brand ranks First amongst Top brands for this period in terms of advertising duration in seconds. Interestingly 'All Out' brand, which is first on in terms of number of ads aired, becomes second with a major lag between the first and second position.
 
Another noticeable feature of this campaign was that almost all the advertisements were longer in duration. The following graph shows that around 80% of the ads aired for the 'Bharat Uday' campaign were 60-seconders.
 
On analyzing the channels on which the campaign was carried, it is clear that DD Channels got the highest share of seconds consumed for Bharat Uday. They got 75% of the total duration share compared to the other channels. What's amazing is 18 of the DD Channels grab 75% of the duration share whereas 29 Non DD Channels where the campaign was aired have to contend with a meager 25%.
 
Another feature of this campaign, which deserves mention, was the flavour of the campaign. The AdEx India team found that the 'Bharat Uday' campaign clearly preferred to be aired in regional languages. 66% of the total campaign was in various languages like Tamil, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Punjabi etc.
