Zee Media Corporation filed its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for FY26 with the stock exchanges on August 31, 2026. The disclosure covers the company’s standalone operations and aligns with SEBI’s listing regulations.

The report highlights that advertising income accounted for 69.68% of turnover, while subscription revenue contributed 6.73%. Content licensing made up the remaining 23.59%. Exports represented 14.36% of total turnover, serving markets across 190 countries.

Workforce and Governance

As of March 31, 2026, the company employed 2,042 people, comprising 1,568 permanent staff and 474 non-permanent employees. Women constituted 19% of the total workforce. The board includes one female director, representing 16.67% of its composition.

Turnover rates for permanent employees rose to 66% in FY26 from 63% in FY25. Female employee turnover increased to 41% from 38%. Male turnover remained stable at 25%.

Environmental Metrics

Total energy consumption fell to 35,240 GJ in FY26, down from 46,336 GJ in FY25. All energy consumed was from non-renewable sources. Energy intensity improved significantly, dropping to 6.17 GJ per million rupees of turnover from 10.2 in the prior year.

Water withdrawal via third-party sources increased slightly to 886 kilolitres from 830 kilolitres. Water intensity decreased to 0.16 kilolitres per million rupees of turnover.

What the Numbers Show

A notable divergence exists between the sharp decline in absolute energy consumption and the improvement in energy intensity. While total energy use dropped by over 24%, the efficiency gain is even more pronounced, suggesting operational optimizations or reduced activity levels relative to revenue generation during the period.
