Media ownership in India - statistics & facts

In 2024, India saw one of the largest media deals struck in a joint venture among Reliance Industries, Viacom18, and Disney Star India. The 8.5-billion-dollar mega deal was not only the largest in India but also ranked among the major media merger and acquisition deals globally that year. This was one of many media acquisitions undertaken by the Reliance Group that reflected an increasingly popular trend in India – corporate takeovers of media.
