NDTV Most Popular For News In India, TV And Digital: Reuters Institute Report
Consolidating its dominance in the news landscape, both online and on TV, NDTV has emerged at the top in a survey by the prestigious Reuters Institute at Oxford University. For the fifth time in a row, the survey has found that NDTV 24X7 is the country's most-watched news channel and ndtv.com the country's most popular news website.
As per the Reuters Institute's Digital News Report 2025, NDTV accounts for 29 per cent of weekly use across the television, radio and print media. Likewise, ndtv.com, is ahead of the competition with 28 per cent weekly use, says the Report.
"These data are based on a survey of mainly English-speaking, online news users in India - a small subset of a larger, more diverse, media market. Findings in this online poll are not nationally representative and will tend to under-represent the continued importance of traditional media such as TV and print," said the Reuters Institute, explaining the methodology used in the study.
The report added that when it comes to brand trust, legacy print titles and public broadcasters tend to enjoy higher levels of trust.
"However, brands that are either extremely critical or extremely uncritical of those in positions of power, tend to have lower trust scores in a polarised environment," it said.
The data for India, said the Report, shows a strong preference for smartphones to access news along with social media platforms such as YouTube (55%), WhatsApp (46%), Instagram (37%), and Facebook (36%) being predominantly used for this purpose amongst our primarily English-speaking survey sample.

Reason behind Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani's success is these 8 powerful women: Kokilaben Ambani, Nita Ambani, Tina Ambani, Isha Ambani and...
Bollywood dazzles with its stars, but the true power moves behind the scenes—especially within India's wealthiest family. The Ambani women aren't just arm candy; they're architects of influence, each weaving unique strands into the Reliance story. Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani began as the silent partner to her husband's fledgling textile dreams. A Gujarati girl who learned English by mimicking investor speeches, she managed credit lines and family budgets while running the household. Today, she holds a personal stake in Reliance estimated at Rs 18,000 crore and still calls the shots at family dinners—once the jalebis arrive, all boardroom battles end. Nita Ambani It's Nita Ambani, the founding force behind Reliance Foundation and the Mumbai Indians. Under her leadership, the foundation funds rural health, girl education, and disaster relief. If you've attended an IPL match or the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, you've seen her blend Bharatanatyam grace with conference-floor charisma—she quips, 'Excel sheets flow better after a good aramandi.' Purnima Dalal Purnima Dalal, Nita's mother, often goes unnoticed—but her influence shines brightest in the stands beside Jasprit Bumrah. A humble Gujarati, Purnima's presence offers emotional ballast; her voice, Nita has said, is her 'personal GPS—always pointing true north.' Mamta Dalal Mamta Dalal, a senior administrator at Dhirubhai Ambani International School, shepherds celebrity kids through MUNs and math tests. She ensures The Khan kids hand in homework and never misses staff meetings—with a red pen ready, regardless of your surname. Radhika Merchant Radhika Merchant brought finance credentials—and a flair for dance—to the family. Now Anant Ambani's fiancée, her NYU & Encore Healthcare resume promises future influence—and ₹10 crore plus in personal wealth. Tina Anil Ambani Tina Anil Ambani, once a 1980s silver-screen star, now chairs Kokilaben Hospital and the Harmony Art Foundation. She continues to attend film society screenings in disguise—turns out old training does still come in handy. Isha Ambani Piramal Isha Ambani Piramal, now a fintech board member and mom of twins via IVF, she's spoken openly about motherhood and mental health—giving visibility to fertility struggles across India. Shloka Mehta Ambani Shloka Mehta Ambani, Princeton alum and director at Rosy Blue, tours the world debating ethical bead-making supply chains—and still checks on Mumbai's cow welfare every fortnight. Nina Kothari Nina Kothari, who leads Kothari Sugars and backs literacy campaigns in Tamil Nadu; and Deepti Salgaoncar, co-founder of Goa's Sunaparanta arts centre, curating everything from Mario Miranda to QR-code installations. These nine women—from Chennai classrooms to diamond boards—reinvent Reliance not by mirroring its patriarchs but by adding original voices. Their collective influence spans finance, education, culture, and care. This isn't just a dynasty's second act—it's the quiet pulse that truly powers it.

Delhi's new fuel policy is forcing people to buy new cars. It won't reduce pollution
A very close friend's mother calling me up and asking, 'Beta, should we buy a new car?' Let me tell you a bit about aunty—she's a retired government service officer and lives comfortably with her husband on a decent pension in one of those societies in Greater Noida. Other than the twice-a-week run to the shops and the occasional drive to meet friends in Delhi, their 11-year-old Hyundai i10 barely gets used. Yet because of the new fuel policy announced by Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta—where older vehicles will not be allowed to refuel, first in Delhi and later across the entire National Capital Region (NCR)—she is genuinely wondering what to do. Starting 1 July, all end-of-life vehicles (EOL) in the national capital will be denied fuel and can also face deregistration, impounding or scrapping. Reportedly, many Delhi residents have been lining up at car showrooms, panic-buying new vehicles. There is an old saying in English— 'missing the woods for the trees'. It means getting so focused on the minor details that you overlook the bigger picture. And honestly, this is what I feel about the new 'fuel policy.' Now, let me make it clear that money is not a problem in this case. This retired couple can easily afford a new car. It is just that they don't see the need for one. And they shouldn't have to. You can think of thousands of cases like this of retired folks with perfectly functional and perfectly maintained vehicles that will now have to be junked because of this new policy. This is a waste of resources. If it is pollution reduction that we are chasing, the policy doesn't consider the massive carbon cost of building a new car from the ground up. Also read: My plea to automakers—I really want some buttons, it makes driving easier Delhi's fuel policy gaps I've read a few arguments in favour of shared mobility. Meanwhile, the state governments like Karnataka are trying to ban it altogether. And honestly, with how expensive and unreliable cabs have become, I've decided I'd rather just drive to the airport and pay the usurious parking fee myself. The older couples need their own vehicles even more. My mother's 80-plus-year-old friend, who lives by herself, still drives from her apartment in Noida to the Delhi Gymkhana Club once a week. She enjoys driving her little Alto and refuses to hire a driver. When I asked her why, she said it gives her freedom and something to do. It is frankly ridiculous that lots of barely used and completely functional older cars and motorcycles will be forced to be scrapped due to Delhi's new fuel policy. I'm currently driving through Kerala—which you'll read about next week—and here, it's common to see cars that are 20 years old or more. I've spotted several old Maruti Zens, and even the occasional Ambassador. The problem in India, though, is that making exceptions will lead to the process being abused. While thousands of old vehicles are functional and adhere to the emission norms from the time they were purchased, it is also true that there are a large number of old vehicles that are in bad shape. So now, the argument being made is that as ridiculous and heavy-handed as this blanket solution is, it's the only one we've got. I don't think so. In many countries, vehicles are required to go through fitness tests. These can flag even a relatively new car as unfit due to accident damage, while an older vehicle might be in perfectly good shape. Owners should not be punished for maintaining their vehicles well. No doubt, pollution is a problem, but this policy, which directly forces people to buy new vehicles, has not been well thought out. @kushanmitra is an automotive journalist based in New Delhi.
