Breaking TRAI revised the tariff order again, lifts the limits on NCF and increases the maximum discount on channels to 45%

I think NCF will not be wipped out totally. All DTH will revise their packs and NCF prices will get adjusted accordingly.

TP & Adtv should reduce NCF to Rs.80/- or Rs.50/- like Sun Direct

They target different consumer base. I think with no NCF cap, TP will push for packs with more bundled channels and make few popular plans (like Dhamaal Mix was before NTO) with some discounts while High NCF will be applied on individual channel selections to deter lower cost subscriptions.

Now they targets ARPU to 300 like Telcos

ARPU of 200rs for Karnataka with all HD available would make a key difference and attractive to bring back OTT viewers and new customer.

Current Kannada HD packs costs around Rs.250.
Without NCF, it will come less than Rs. 150..
So, they can bring a bundle for Rs. 200 with all respective regional channels + few selective other genere channels at Rs. 200 pack.

For those who are not opting for the pack, NCF could be made accordingly to match ARPU..

I'm sure that Fastway cable TV will definitely provide all SD channels for Rs.250-300 as before and all HD channels under 450/-
And packs will Start @130/- with popular channels

If DPOs come up with bundles like

1. 1 default language + other popular channels across genere ~200rs
2. 2 primary languages + other popular channels across genere ~250rs
3. 3+ primary languages + covering majority channels ~300rs

This would make DTHs attractive and can slowdown OTT migration

Now I understood the reason behind removal of NCF.

It helps in bringing Live TV channels of Paid channels on OTT..

Sunnxt which was blocking Live channels if user coming through OTT bundled subscription now started allowing Live channels without any restrictions

This also helps in JIO TV pan India launch in another couple of months

New tariff will be applicable from October 6, let's see what broadcasters will do in remaining 40-50 Days

A senior executive at a broadcast network called this a bizarre decision attempted to please distribution platforms. “Private broadcasters are a soft target. Only when there is forbearance at all levels, will the consumer benefit," the executive said. He was referring to the fact that on one hand, the network capacity fee, which is a rental fee charged by distributors, has been tweaked to account for factors such as the number of channels, different regions, customer classes or any combination thereof. On the other, challenges for broadcasters are mounting.
This move will affect around 20 of the 70-plus channels available on DD Free Dish, she said.
