TV Channel Overview
DD India is an English-language international news and current affairs channel based in New Delhi, Delhi, India. It is part of Doordarshan and operated under Prasar Bharati, India’s public service broadcaster. Launched in 1995 as Doordarshan’s international channel, it later adopted the DD India name in 2002 and has focused primarily on English news and current affairs since 2018.
Its international remit combines coverage of India with reporting on developments elsewhere in the world. News, foreign affairs, the economy, and other public-interest subjects form the core of the schedule, while sport, culture, and entertainment-related programs broaden the channel’s range. Reporting and analysis also place Indian developments within wider regional and global contexts.
DD India addresses international audiences, including members of the Indian diaspora, while presenting news and information about India alongside global developments. Within Doordarshan’s channel network, it is designated as the international service, giving it a distinct role from the broadcaster’s national and regional television channels.
