Earlier the same day, the Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT) confirmed that Tata Play Limited profiteered by ₹450.18 crore. The tribunal found the company failed to pass on the benefit of input tax credit to consumers, having charged identical subscription rates both before and after the implementation of GST. This follows a March 10, 2026 report highlighting the accelerating decline in India's Direct-to-Home (DTH) subscriber base, signaling a broader shift towards internet entertainment. Despite the industry trend, Tata Play holds a 31.08% market share, leading the four private operators in the DTH sector.
