Issuing changes to its tariff order and interconnection regulations, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India has announced a cap of Rs 19 for a channel to be part of a bouquet, and channels exceeding this price must be offered separately with no limit on their MRP. This cap was earlier fixed at Rs 12.
In addition, a broadcaster cannot offer a television channel distributor a discount greater than 45 percent on a bouquet, and any discount must be based on the combined subscription numbers of that channel in à la carte and bouquet modes.
