By this mutually beneficial partnership NDTV could reach homes of affluent Indians through the STAR platform, while STAR could benefit from the gravitas of a serious news channel. NDTV provided all the news material- both in Hindi and English - including its presentation and packaging for STAR. Although STAR News had the STAR platform, the news was not produced in-house.

Joint venture ġ996: Since the Indian legislation required a majority Indian ownership for news broadcasters, STAR commissions NDTV to provide supply news content to STAR News. ġ995: NDTV became India's first private producer of the national news with telecast of "Tonight" on Doordarshan. ġ989: NDTV produces India's first televised coverage of general elections results with analysis.

The Roys are today known for helping to break the Indian government's grip on television news. ġ988: New Delhi Television was set up by Prannoy Roy – a former professor of economics at the University of Delhi – and his wife and business partner Radhika Roy.
