NDTV Plans to Raise Rs 400 Crore Through Rights Issue to Boost Growth In a big move to strengthen its financial position, NDTV, one of India's top news broadcasters, has announced plans to raise up to Rs 400 crore by issuing new shares to its existing shareholders. The company's Board of Directors approved this decision during a meeting held on September 2. NDTV says this capital boost will help the company become more resilient and flexible financially. With extra funds, NDTV aims to expand its reach both in India and internationally. The money will also be used to invest in building its brand, developing new content, reducing existing debts, and supporting other growth initiatives. Rahul Kanwal, NDTV’s CEO and Editor-in-Chief, shared his excitement about the move. He explained that this rights issue is a key step in preparing NDTV for its future. "With these resources, we will grow our audience, strengthen our impact, and stay committed to delivering trustworthy, credible journalism," he said. Kanwal added that digital media offers new opportunities for NDTV to reach more viewers and explore fresh areas of growth. The company’s goal is to build a stronger, future-ready NDTV that reflects the aspirations of a new India. NDTV has a long history of delivering reliable news in both English and Hindi, earning a reputation for credible journalism. The company is now focusing on digital-first strategies, including branded content, targeted advertising, and partnerships with global platforms to expand its audience. The company is also exploring new opportunities like regional language news, international broadcasting through NDTV World, and live event coverage. NDTV operates under AMG Media Networks Limited, which is a fully owned subsidiary of Adani Enterprises Limited. This move to raise funds shows NDTV’s commitment to growth, innovation, and providing quality news for a wider audience.
