NDTV Delivers 34% Revenue Growth in Q3 FY25, Strengthens Global Presence

NDTV, one of India’s leading media networks, has reported an impressive 34% year-on-year revenue growth for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024-25. Compared to the previous quarter, revenue also rose by 20%, reflecting the company’s strong performance across advertising, digital, and event-led initiatives.

Expanding Horizons with NDTV World

A major highlight of the quarter was the launch of NDTV World, a global news platform designed to serve international audiences with an Indian and Asian perspective.
The launch was commemorated at the prestigious NDTV World Summit, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi officially unveiled the platform. The event drew a power-packed lineup of global leaders, including Bhutan Prime Minister Dasho Tshering Tobgay, former UK Prime Minister Lord David Cameron, investment legend Mark Mobius, telecom magnate Sunil Bharti Mittal, and global content creator NAS Daily.

NDTV World aims to redefine global news coverage by bringing depth, diversity, and an Indian voice to international narratives — strengthening the network’s vision to become a truly global player.

Major Event Highlights

The quarter was action-packed with NDTV covering key events such as the Maharashtra elections, the US elections, and hosting several high-profile flagship events including:

• NDTV Indian of the Year

• NDTV Auto Conclave

• Emerging Business Conclave

• Real Estate Conclave

These events brought together leading politicians, business icons, celebrities, and influencers, reinforcing NDTV’s growing clout in both the media and business ecosystems.

Adding to the momentum, NDTV marked its return to the BARC ratings system after a gap of over two and a half years, an important step towards re-measuring its television audience reach.

Strategic Investments for Long-Term Growth

While aggressive investments into new IPs, global expansion, and digital scaling did impact short-term profitability, NDTV’s leadership remains bullish about the future.

Sanjay Pugalia, Executive Director and Editor-in-Chief at NDTV, stated,
"Q3 was a pivotal quarter for us. The launch of NDTV World and the NDTV World Summit were major milestones. Although our short-term profits were affected by our investments, we are confident these moves will fuel sustainable growth over the coming years."

Award-Winning Excellence

Capping off a landmark quarter, NDTV bagged a record-breaking 38 awards at the News Television Awards 2024, making it the highest winner in the English and Hindi news categories — a testament to its content quality and leadership across platforms.

The Road Ahead

As NDTV steps boldly into 2025, it is clear that the network is not just aiming for growth in India but is setting its sights on the global stage.
With strategic content expansions, an international focus, and a commitment to innovation, NDTV is building a stronger, more diversified future.
