Tata Sky CEO Harit Nagpal has confirmed to indiantelevision.com that it is moving the Delhi High Court against TRAI on the tariff order. As it is one of the largest among the six private DTH operators, the approximately Rs 50-billion Tata Sky may be joined by other players.

Tata Sky had designed packages as per genre so as to make it smoother for the customer but may now have to change these bouquets/bundles as the new order directs the DTH operators to offer channels on an à la carte basis and then link them to the bouquet price.

MUMBAI: Broadcaster Star India has written to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) seeking 10 more days to publish its reference interconnect offer (RIO) under the new tariff order regime. As per TRAI’s notification, the broadcasters had to publish their RIOs or channel rate cards by 2 May.

A majority of broadcasters have yet to publish their RIOs on their websites. Until the filing of this report, the broadcasters who have published their RIOs include TV18, Viacom18, Sun TV Network and Disney India Broadcasting.

Star, which is embroiled in a legal battle with TRAI over the new tariff order and regulation, is awaiting TRAI’s response.

“Star had formally requested TRAI on 2 May seeking more time to publish the RIO. It is waiting for their response before publishing RIO,” said a source familiar with the development.

Star had moved the SC after the Madras HC refused to grant a stay order. The broadcaster had filed a special leave petition (SLP) before the Supreme Court seeking a stay on TRAI’s tariff order and interconnection regulation until the Madras High Court decided on the issue of jurisdiction, which is scheduled for 12 June.
