News Summary:
Prasar Bharati invited applications on July 10, 2026, for its 100th e-auction, scheduled for July 16, to allot vacant MPEG-2 slots on the DD Free Dish DTH platform for the period from July 23, 2026, to March 31, 2027. This follows a Delhi High Court directive on July 4, 2026, ordering Prasar Bharati to pay salary arrears to 66 technicians, senior technicians, and engineering assistants from 1996, ruling that equal pay must include monetary benefits and notional pay fixation alone would be unjust. Earlier, on June 29, 2026, Salasar Techno Engineering Limited announced its successful execution of a six-tower Hybrid FM programme for Prasar Bharati’s All India Radio, contributing to the public broadcasting ecosystem. On June 25, 2026, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) opened a 30-day comment window for new draft recruitment rules governing engineers in Prasar Bharati’s Civil Construction Wing. Previously, on June 24, 2026, the MIB issued a corrigendum to its June 11 notification, clarifying that free-to-air broadcast mandates apply to all official matches played by the Indian men’s and women’s cricket teams, correcting an earlier phrasing error.
