New Delhi: NDTV, a leading news network in India, has announced impressive financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2024-2025. The company reported a robust 34% year-on-year (YoY) revenue growth, primarily driven by the high-impact coverage of the Lok Sabha elections and a surge in digital traffic.
The network’s comprehensive and insightful coverage of the elections, characterized by intelligent discussions, high-quality production, and in-depth ground reporting, set it apart from the competition. This resulted in record-breaking digital viewership not only within India but also internationally, with NDTV becoming the most-watched Asian channel in markets like the UK. The network’s journalistic excellence was further validated by topping the prestigious Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2024.
To capitalize on the growing regional audience, NDTV launched its sixth news channel, NDTV Marathi, in May 2024. The channel has already made a significant impact with its accurate and informative content.

While the quarter witnessed substantial revenue growth, the company also invested heavily in infrastructure upgrades, expanding its distribution network, and adopting new technologies to enhance its digital offerings. These strategic investments, along with regional expansion efforts, contributed to increased expenses during the period.
NDTV’s strong performance in the first quarter positions the company for continued growth and leadership in the media landscape.
