D2H and Dish TV merger - With the recent merger of Videocon D2H and Dish TV, the potential for the direct-to-home service in India will see 'exceptional future growth and profitability'. After a year-long tug-of-war, the board of directors from both the companies agreed to the merger and called it the "largest DTH service provider" ever. The merger will create room for competitive pricing and an enormous market to cater to. Dish TV had a subscriber base of 15.5 million in July 2017. Once Videocon D2H merged with it with a subscriber base of 12.2 million, the entity became the tallest player in the market. National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) of the Mumbai bench approved the merger.
