The direct-to-home (DTH) TV industry has been witnessing tremendous growth in India for the past few years, thanks to huge investments by existing as well as new players. The Indian DTH industry has already crossed the 30 Million-mark for subscriber base as the quality of service delivered by DTH is superior, compared to cable or any other medium. As per our research report, the Indian DTH TV industry is currently in the growth phase, and expected to attract a large number of subscribers in near future.

According to "Indian DTH Market Forecast to 2012", the entry of new players is intensifying competition in the Indian DTH market, and this has led to a fall in installation prices and availability of a wide range of options for users. The decline in Set-Top Box (STB) prices has also made DTH services viable for the Indian users. Besides, the mandated introduction of CAS on cable networks is expected to make cable television services more expensive and contract the gap between overall costs of DTH services and cable services. With such developments, the number of DTH subscribers in India is projected to increase at a CAGR of around 23% during 2011-2014.
