Government forms committee to resolve BARC television ratings deadlock in India

Television ratings remain suspended since July 2026 pending BARC’s license renewal under new government policies.
The 2026 policy mandates rigorous audits, increased transparency, and expanded audience measurement across Indian media.
Broadcasters and advertisers demand immediate ratings restoration because the ongoing blackout severely hampers revenue planning.
