The broadcasters whose contracts with foreign satellite operators are expiring in the near future have been directed to shift to indigenous satellites INSAT/GSAT as the required capacity is available. This was informed to broadcasters by the ministry of information and broadcasting (MIB).
Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, the Minister of state in the ministry of information and broadcasting (MIB), told in the Lok Sabha, “The channels, whose contracts are expiring in the near future on foreign satellites, are being informed to shift to indigenous INSAT/GSAT satellites, as the required capacity is available.”
