Significance
The takeover bid is opposed by NDTV’s husband-and-wife executive co-chairs, Prannoy and Radhika Roy. Adani, like fellow Indian tycoon Mukesh Ambani, is close to Modi.
Impacts
If Adani’s takeover succeeds, critics will watch out for signs of the BJP getting more favourable coverage on NDTV.
India’s digital media will likely come under heightened scrutiny by tax authorities.
Delhi will soon issue guidelines to regulate social media influencers.
