GTPL Hathway overtakes Tata Play to become India’s largest TV distributor by revenue in FY26
Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL)-backed cable TV distributor GTPL Hathway has overtaken Tata Sons- and Disney-owned direct-to-home (DTH) operator Tata Play in revenue, displacing the latter’s longstanding revenue leadership of India’s TV distribution market.
GTPL reported FY26 revenue of ₹3,746 crore, ahead of Tata Play’s ₹3,530 crore, according to data sourced from regulatory filings. This is despite GTPL having 9.6 million active cable subscribers, far lagging Tata Play’s more than 15 million DTH subscribers.
