New Delhi Television Ltd is an Indian news media company focusing on broadcast and digital news publication. It was founded in 1984, by economist Prannoy Roy and journalist Radhika Roy. It began as a production house for news segments, contracted by the public broadcaster Doordarshan and international satellite channels when television broadcasting was a state monopoly, and transitioned into the first independent news network in India. The company launched the first 24x7 news channel in partnership with Star India in 1998. In 2003, it became an independent broadcasting network with the simultaneous launch of the Hindi and English language news channels known as NDTV India and NDTV 24x7. In 2022, the Adani Group acquired a majority stake in the company. The takeover by Adani led to resignations by many prominent members of the channel, including Ravish Kumar. Wikipedia
