ZEE5 aims to slash operating losses by up to 60% in FY26

Mumbai: ZEE5, the streaming platform owned by Zee Entertainment, aims to reduce its operating losses by 50-60% in FY26, president of digital businesses and platforms Amit Goenka said.

The OTT industry has shifted its focus to achieving profitability after years of heavy investments in subscriber acquisition, which had taken a toll on their P&L.

In FY25, ZEE5 reduced its Ebitda loss to ₹548 crore from ₹1,105 crore in the previous year. The company has been aggressively cutting costs to achieve its goal of an 18-20% Ebitda margin in FY26.
