There were 131 million homes using DTH and cable in 2020, 120 million in 2022, and only 116 million homes using these services by 2025. There is no shortage of platforms and content for consumers in the digital age. Owing to the abundance of entertainment options available at alluring prices via over-the-top (OTT) platforms and social media, the modest cable TV industry has suffered greatly. The number of subscribers in the cable TV business is currently dropping as consumers move to more convenient alternatives. A recent analysis by FICCI predicts that although the total number of TV connections will increase steadily to reach 206 million homes by 2025, there’s going to be a decrease in pay TV homes. In 2020, there were 131 million homes using DTH and cable. By 2022, there were only 120 million, and by 2025, only 116 million homes are predicted to be using these services.
