Prasar Bharati opens 98th DD Free Dish slot auction
Prasar Bharati is conducting its 98th e-auction for vacant MPEG-2 slots on DD Free Dish, inviting applications for the period spanning May 29, 2026, to March 31, 2027. This auction determines which broadcasters will secure slots on the DD Free Dish DTH platform.
Key Takeaways
- The auction covers vacant MPEG-2 slots on DD Free Dish.
- Applications are being invited for the period from May 29, 2026, to March 31, 2027.
- This is Prasar Bharati’s 98th e-auction for DD Free Dish slots.
