Indian Broadcasting Foundation is a non-profit organization headquartered in India. Founded in 1999, the organization operates with approximately 10 employees. It functions as an apex organization for television broadcasters in India, primarily involved in media production.
On September 21, 2026, the Indian Broadcasting & Digital Foundation (IBDF) called for the immediate restoration of BARC television ratings, noting that the prolonged suspension was adversely affecting revenue visibility and expectations, particularly during the festival season. This follows the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting's (MIB) release of Draft Telecommunications (Television Radio and Associated Services) Rules 2026 for consultation on June 12, 2026. These draft rules consolidate guidelines for TV Uplinking/Downlinking, DTH, HITS, Radio, and IPTV under the new Telecommunications Act 2023, replacing the erstwhile Telegraph Act 1885. The deadline for public response was July 27, 2026.
