Commenting on the company outlook, Executive Chairman of Videocon d2h, Mr. Saurabh Dhoot, said "I am pleased to share that the Honorable National Company Law Tribunal has approved the scheme of amalgamation with Dish TV India. We are awaiting the certified copy of the order. The appointed date for the Scheme is October 1, 2017, from which date the businesses of Videocon d2h Limited and Dish TV India Limited will be amalgamated.

In the past few weeks, the management has been working on an integration plan. The merged entity plans to adopt and implement the best practices of both companies. We believe this merger provides exciting opportunities through the customer service model, convergence of technologies, expanded breadth of content offerings including expansion of exclusive content, advertising income growth potential as well as synergies from a combined subscriber base of more than 28 million. The merged entity would be one of the largest Pay TV platforms in the world in terms of subscriber base, according to the Company estimates. I am very excited for this new journey of a business that commands strong business fundamentals and growth opportunities supported by our strong balance sheet and growing free cash flows."

Speaking on the business outlook, Mr. Anil Khera, CEO of Videocon d2h, said "I am pleased to share that Goods and Service Tax (GST) came into effect starting July 1, 2017. GST will simplify the taxation regime and improve the ease of doing business. GST would also drive the unorganized segment, such as local cable operators, towards taxation.

I am happy to share that the monsoons this year have been in line with long term average. This is likely to strengthen the macro-economic sentiment and imply good consumption from rural India. This is positive for the DTH industry and the upbeat rural sentiment due to the good monsoon could lead to a strong outlook for the festive quarter."
