Network18 Media & Investments has fixed October 1, 2026, as the hearing date for the final disposal of its company scheme petition regarding the amalgamation of News18 Marathi Private Limited. The hearing will be held before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Mumbai Bench, at 10:30 am or soon thereafter.

The company filed the petition on July 17, 2026, seeking approval for the merger of News18 Marathi Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary, with Network18 Media & Investments Limited and its respective shareholders and creditors. The NCLT admitted the petition via an order dated July 23, 2026.

Regulatory Process

The scheme falls under Sections 230 to 232 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. Network18 published advertisements in Business Standard (all India editions in English) and Navshakti (Maharashtra edition in Marathi) on August 17, 2026, to notify stakeholders of the hearing.

Any person wishing to support or oppose the petition must submit written notice to the petitioner companies' advocates, Mr. Peshwan Jehangir of Khaitan & Co., at least two days before the hearing date. Those opposing the scheme must also furnish grounds for opposition or a copy of their affidavit.

What the Numbers Show

The amalgamation involves News18 Marathi Private Limited, incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956, with Corporate Identity Number U65923MH2007PTC281111. As a wholly owned subsidiary, its consolidation into the parent entity is a structural simplification rather than an acquisition of external assets, aiming to streamline corporate governance and operational reporting for the regional news channel.
