The Information and Broadcasting secretary Bimal Julka said that a total of 140 million set-top boxes (STBs) would be seeded in four phases of DAS that ends on 31 December.
Thirty million of STBs have already been seeded in the first two phases and the remaining 110 million would be seeded in the last two phases of DAS.
“A total of 140 million STBs are required to achieve complete digitisation by 2014. Digitisation has already been successfully completed in 42 cities in the first two phases. Around 30 million STBs have been seeded. About 110 million STBs are required to be seeded in the remaining two phases,” Julka revealed.
He also said local Indian STB manufacturers had a great opportunity in the last two phases of digitisation. “The Indian industry has sufficient capacity to meet this demand. There is a huge opportunity for the Indian industry and also from the employment-generation perspective,” Julka added.
