New Delhi Television Limited (NDTV) has reappointed Sanjay Pugalia as its full-time director for a further three-year term, signalling continuity in leadership as the company moves ahead with its operational and financial priorities.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the NDTV board held on January 28, 2026, where several key resolutions were approved. As per the regulatory filing, Pugalia’s new term will begin on April 1, 2026, and run until March 31, 2029, subject to the approval of shareholders at the company’s forthcoming annual general meeting.
Alongside the leadership decision, the board also approved NDTV’s unaudited financial results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025, on both standalone and consolidated bases. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Sebi regulations and include the limited review report issued by the company’s statutory auditors, S. N. Dhawan & Company LLP. The results have been made available on NDTV’s official website.
In the same meeting, the board reappointed Sanjay Gupta & Associates as cost auditors for the financial year 2026–27, further ensuring continuity in statutory and compliance-related processes.
Pugalia brings with him decades of experience across television, digital and print media. Over the years, he has held senior editorial and leadership roles at some of the country’s most prominent media organisations. He spent over a decade with CNBC Awaaz and was part of its launch team, served as News Director at Star News, led Zee News, and was also among the founding team at Aaj Tak. His print journalism credentials include contributions to publications such as Business Standard and Navbharat Times, while in the 1990s he was a regular contributor to BBC Hindi Radio. Prior to joining NDTV, he served as President and Editorial Director at Quint Digital Media Limited.
The company has clarified that Pugalia does not have any family relationship with other members of the board and that there are no adverse orders or restrictions against him from Sebi or any other regulatory authority.
The board meeting, held from 4 pm to 6 pm on Wednesday, reflected NDTV’s focus on stability and governance, with swift decisions on leadership continuity, financial disclosures and auditor appointments, reinforcing the broadcaster’s emphasis on steady execution rather than disruption.
