Dish TV chairman Subhash Chandra says,
“Going by the first quarter run-rate, the Indian
DTH industry seems to have set ground for a
25 per cent growth in subscriber additions this
year. Factoring in the opportunities ahead,
Dish TV is optimistic about outgrowing the
industry growth rate. The company delivered in
line with expectations during the first quarter
and reclaimed its position as the fastest
growing DTH player in the country.”
Dish TV managing director Jawahar Goel adds,
“Post a mediocre 2014, fiscal 2015 had a
promising start for the DTH industry. Dish TV,
supported by a debt light balance sheet and a
more willing consumer market, put the pedal
to the metal and led the industry growth by
garnering the highest incremental share during
the quarter.”
“In line with our objective of growth with
profitability, we took a price hike of 5-7 per
cent across the middle and top level packs
with effect from the first week of June. ARPU
increased to Rs 170 per month in the first
quarter with churn also increasing marginally
to reach 0.7 per cent per month. There have
been efforts to implement last mile billing by
the MSO’s however, a full-fledged roll-out is
key to a step jump in ARPU’s across the
category,” says Goel
