The company had posted a net profit of Rs 29.96 crore during the October-December quarter a year ago, according to a regulatory filing by NDTV, which is now controlled by the Adani group.
Its revenue from operations was down 9.44 per cent to Rs 105.37 crore during the quarter under review compared to Rs 116.36 crore a year ago.
Its consolidated profit "is lower in comparison to the same quarter last year, primarily due to reduction in consumption of advertisement inventory across news genre," NDTV said in an earning statement.
