New Delhi Television Ltd has entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire the business undertaking comprising the GoodTimes channel from Lifestyle & Media Broadcasting Limited. The seller is a joint venture of the company, making this a related-party transaction conducted on an arm's length basis based on a registered valuer's report.

The acquisition aims to strengthen the company's strategic positioning and expand its operational capabilities in lifestyle-focused broadcasting. The deal involves the transfer of all business authorizations, licenses, customer agreements, intellectual property rights, and goodwill associated with the channel.

Transaction details

The following table outlines the key parameters of the acquisition:

The total consideration is capped at ₹18 crore, structured as a mix of cash and television advertising inventory. The valuation is subject to adjustments as per the agreement terms. No separate legal entity is being acquired; instead, the company is purchasing the transferred assets on a going concern basis.

Regulatory path

The completion of the acquisition is contingent upon fulfilling closing conditions specified in the agreement. Key among these is obtaining requisite approval from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting for the transfer of the television channel license. Other statutory approvals may also be required.

The company expects to complete the transaction within approximately three months. This move follows earlier disclosures made on July 17, 2026, regarding the planned acquisition.
