Doordarshan Freedish has become the largest DTH platform with a reach of more than 43 million households.

A recent report by FICCI-EY stated that free Television continued to grow its base “to reach an estimated 43 million subscribers on the back of less expensive television sets, economic issues, and the addition of new channels to the platform.”
The report has quoted Freedish distributors mentioning year-on-year growth in sales of DD Freedish set-top boxes.
Between 2004 and 2017, the DD Freedish subscribers grew by 22 million subscribers. While in just the last five years between 2017 and 2022, Freedish has added another 21 million subscribers, taking the total to 43 million.
Prasar Bharati’s DTH service DD Freedish is the only Free-to-Air (FTA) Direct-To-Home (DTH) Service where the viewer doesn’t have to pay any monthly subscription fee. It only requires a small one-time investment of about Rs 2000 for the purchase of the DD Freedish set-top box.
