New DTH licensing policy: I&B Ministry to send framework for Cabinet approval by year end

[rahul1117kumar]

Speaking at the CII Big Picture event, Secretary in the Information & Broadcasting Ministry, Amit Khare, said the new DTH policy has been finalised and the Ministry is hoping to send it for Cabinet approval by the year-end. He said the Ministry is looking to get a Cabinet nod for the policy by the month-end, as the interim licences of some of the DTH players will expire by December 31.

Earlier this year, TRAI had reiterated its recommendations to the Ministry on new licensing conditions for DTH players. It had recommended that licences be issued for a period of 20 years and thereafter should be renewed for 10 years. It had also recommended a one-time entry fee of ₹10 crore. Currently leading players such as Dish TV and Tata Sky are operating on interim licences given by the Ministry, till the new DTH policy gets finalised and approved.
