In May 2021, it was disclosed that promoters' shareholding in Dish TV has fallen to just 5.67%. The company retained the name of DishTV India Limited after the merger. The combined total revenue of the two firms was ₹8,077 crore (US$1.0 billion). Dish TV and Videocon d2h reported separate revenue numbers in FY2017. The merger made the new combined entity the largest DTH provider in India with 17.7 million active subscribers. The amalgamation was officially completed on 22 March 2018. Īs of 31 December 2017, d2h had a market share of 19% among the pay DTH operators. In February 2018, Dish TV announced that it intended to go through with the merger. The merger faced uncertainty in January 2018, when Dish TV announced that it was re-evaluating the merger after some of the Videocon Group's lenders petitioned the National Company Law Tribunal to open insolvency proceedings against the company. The merger was approved by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) on, and by the National Company Law Tribunal on 27 July 2017.

So, we decided to go slow and concentrate in cable-dry and cable-frustrated markets, rather than cable-rich markets and build the market step by step." Dish TV acquired 350,000 subscribers within 2 years of the launch. Jawahar Goel, who led the launch, recalled 10 years later, "We hardly had four transponders and could offer only 48 channels, compared to analog cable that was giving 60 and was much cheaper. The company decided not to compete against entrenched cable operators in metros and urban areas, and instead focused on providing services to rural areas and regions not serviced by cable television. DishTV launched the first DTH service in India on 2 October 2003.
