About NDTV

Major Daily Government-alignedLimited public info

NDTV was founded in 1988 by Prannoy and Radhika Roy. In 2022, the Adani Group, led by Gautam Adani, acquired a majority stake of over 64.71% in NDTV, making it the largest shareholder. The Adani Group has been noted for having close ties with the Indian government.

Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC) rates NDTV as Right-Center Biased and questionable, citing the promotion of propaganda, poor sourcing techniques, a lack of transparency, and several failed fact checks. Following the Adani Group's acquisition in 2022, NDTV's editorial stance shifted from being critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to a more pro-Modi perspective, with reports of self-censorship. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and Freedom House highlight a deteriorating press freedom environment in India, with increased government pressure and concentrated media ownership. RSF also named the Adani Group in its 2025 'Press Freedom Predators' list for allegedly using the court system to silence journalists.
