television industry, while the print sector’s dependence on
advertisements is increasing. Since the last one year, the
radio business is awaiting guidelines for Phase-3 which
would give it a fillip. New media is expected to be a game
changed for the industry with convergence of media &
technology.

expected to continue its momentum and register 14% CAGR
over 2010-2015 to Rs 1,275bn vs 8% CAGR over 2007-10.
􀂁 Ad growth to continue: Ad revenues grew by 16.7% in 2010

policy will propel the sector to new peaks.
