At present, there are about 950+ TV channels in the country which are pay and free. In which there are around 800 free TV channels. But only a few channels participate on DD Free Dish.
Therefore, the next 56th e-auction of DD Free Dish will be an opportunity for all these channels, through which those channels will reach every nook and corner of the country.
You can understand that even after having 800 free-to-air private TV channels in the country, the number of private TV channels available on DD Free Dish is only around 100+.
However, Prasar Bharati is soon planning to expand to 250 slots on DD Free Dish, after that more and more TV channels will be able to participate.

DD Free Dish needs a complete overhauling and upgradation to compete with other private platforms. Channel numbers are always changing. Instead of adding channels on annually and pro rata basis, include channels atleast for five years. Your rate is also very much inflative. No regional channels could afford to your price. Fixed Point Chart of the channels are not available.
