The 3 HD channels are from ETV Network and 2 SD channels are news channels. Before this, Tata Play surprised its subscribers by adding 7 HD and 1 SD channel on 31st October 2023. This was the 2023’s biggest addition.

The 2 new SD channels added by Tata Play are Naxatra News and NDTV Marathi. Naxatra News is a 24×7 Hindi news channel with a unique lineup of shows along with current affairs. NDTV Marathi is a new Marathi regional news channel launched by Adani Group on 1st May 2024. Tata Play has alloted LCN 1142 to Naxatra News and LCN 1268 to NDTV Marathi. Naxatra News and NDTV Marathi are available for free and have also been added to the FTA Complimentary Pack which means that both channels will get automatically subscribed for the user.

These channel additions were the most significant for the growth of Tata Play in the Telugu regional market and this bumper addition of both HD and SD channels are exclusive only to Tata Play and no other DTH operator currently carries these channels on their platform. After the addition of DD Tamil HD, Tarang HD, and Sun Neo HD, Tata Play will be the Direct-to-home operator to carry all HD satellite channels in India.
