In an era of clashing headlines and clamorous coverage, Indian audiences have made a clear and thoughtful choice — they’ve chosen trust. NDTV 24×7 has been ranked as the No.1 English news channel in the country, according to the latest BARC ratings.

As per an official NDTV press release, the channel has topped the charts not by riding the wave of sensationalism, but by consistently delivering credible, composed, and responsible journalism. The latest data from BARC (SOURCE: BARC | ALL INDIA | 20-23’25 | 22+ ABC | 6 TO 24 HRS | SHARE%) confirms NDTV 24×7’s decisive lead over its competitors, cementing its position as the preferred choice for news that informs without distorting.

This recognition is not merely a celebration of viewership but a vindication of values. At a time when outrage often passes off as engagement and opinion cloaks itself as fact, NDTV 24×7’s pursuit of truth over theatrics is resonating deeply. The newsroom’s response to recent emotionally charged events — the Ahmedabad air crash, the tragic stadium stampede in Bengaluru, and the disturbing honeymoon murder — stood apart for its restraint, clarity, and commitment to fact-based reporting.

Senior journalists like Ankit Tyagi, who reported from the crash site with compassion rather than chaos, and veterans Vishnu Som and Shiv Aroor, who offered seasoned perspectives, exemplified the ethos NDTV has long stood for — not being first, but being right.

Rahul Kanwal, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of NDTV, summed up the moment with gravitas. “This recognition is a profound responsibility. In a landscape of constant noise, we remain committed to signal. We report not just with urgency, but with humility. Not just to break news, but to build understanding,” he said.

NDTV’s rise to the top reflects a deliberate editorial stance — one that listens before it speaks, one that questions before it claims. It is a victory for journalism that seeks to enlighten rather than inflame, to explore nuance rather than polarise.

In today’s saturated media environment, NDTV 24×7’s leadership is a clear signal from a discerning audience: India still values truth, responsibility, and fairness. When credibility becomes the rarest currency in newsrooms, NDTV’s consistency has become its greatest strength.

NDTV 24×7 – setting the benchmark for credible journalism, and standing tall as the voice of a thinking, evolving India.
