Adani Group currently holds around 64.71 percent stake in ND TV. Adani Group’s shareholding increased after it acquired 27 percent shares of NDTV founders Prannoy Roy and Radhika Roy through an open offer. Currently, ND TV’s founders Prannoy Roy and his wife Radhika Roy hold only a five percent stake in the company. NDTV is fully controlled by the Adani Group.
