It is worth noting that in a surprising move, billionaire Gautam Adani has started the process of acquiring NDTV. If this acquisition reaches its culmination, the present scenario of media in the country may change.

The Adani Group has also offered to buy an additional 26 percent controlling stake in the company after the first indirect acquisition of 29.18 percent stake in the broadcaster.

In the media industry, where Ambani already has a sizable footprint through Network18, which operates a variety of channels, including the news channel CNN-News18 and the business channel CNBC-TV18, the offer for NDTV will be the Adani group's most well-known venture.
Quintillion Business Media Pvt Ltd, a digital business news platform, was acquired by Adani Media Ventures Ltd (AMVL), the media division of the group's flagship Adani Enterprises Ltd, last year (QBM).
