TV broadcasters may move Apex Court against Delhi HC ruling on advertisement cap
Mumbai: Television broadcasters are considering moving the Supreme Court against the Delhi High Court’s order upholding the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s (Trai) authority to enforce a 12-minute-per-clock-hour cap on television advertising, people with knowledge of the matter said.
The industry is worried because the ruling could hurt revenues and significantly expand the regulator’s oversight over broadcasters.
The Delhi High Court on May 29 dismissed petitions filed by broadcasters in 2013 challenging Trai’s advertising regulations.
