Direct-to-home (DTH) operator Tata Play reported a deeper consolidated loss of ₹529.43 crore for FY25, compared to a net loss of ₹353.88 crore in the previous fiscal year.

The company’s operating revenue saw a 5.15% decline, falling to ₹4,082.5 crore. Total revenue also dropped 5% year-on-year to ₹4,109.3 crore, according to data from business intelligence platform Tofler.

Despite the widening losses, Tata Play managed to cut its net debt to ₹3,445.60 crore in FY25 from ₹4,010.21 crore the year before. Overall expenses dipped by 3% to ₹4,619.22 crore, aided in part by a sharp reduction in advertising and promotional spends — which were slashed by 29.2% to ₹124.28 crore, down from ₹175.54 crore in FY24.

Tata Play operates in a competitive DTH market, going head-to-head with rivals such as DishTV, Airtel Digital TV, and the government-run DD Free Dish.

Notably, a potential merger between Tata Play and Bharti Airtel’s DTH business was called off on May 3, after both parties failed to reach an agreeable solution.
