NTO 2.0 up to 200 channels ₹ 130 + taxes extra but sun direct mentioned 100 channels ₹130 + taxes extra it seems old pdf

Since they don't have 200 fta channels they had mentioned like this.

So it's jumla by Trai
Giving 200sd channels
Not reducing ncf

130 & 160 are maximum price point for it,
MSO can reduce it if they wish.

Check DPO bouquets (not by broadcasters) the NCF is around ₹60 to ₹80

I mean if dth carry 200 FTA channels in there platform then Trai intentions will b useful to customers
Many dths don't carry much channels so it's jumla by trai
Those free r less trp channels
Important ones r 19rs or more than 1rs channels
So instead of making 200 channels under 153rs not a big advantage for customers
Instead they should have reduced ncf to 75rs
And made 19rs channels to 12rs
