🇮🇳 NDTV

About NDTV

NDTV was founded in 1988 by Prannoy Roy and Radhika Roy. In 2022, the Adani Group, a multinational conglomerate with close ties to the Indian government, acquired a majority stake, becoming the single largest shareholder with over 64.71% ownership.

Before 2022, NDTV was known for its critical reporting on the Modi government. However, following the Adani Group's acquisition, the outlet has reportedly ceased open criticism of the Prime Minister, leading to concerns about self-censorship and a decline in editorial independence. Media Bias/Fact Check rates NDTV as 'Right-Center Biased' and 'questionable' due to the promotion of propaganda, poor sourcing, lack of transparency, and several failed fact checks. Reporters Without Borders has also included the Adani Group in its 'Press Freedom Predators' list, citing efforts to silence critical journalism.
