With the Delhi High Court protection behind them, 36 news channels flouted the 12-minute ad cap rule for the period 30 March to 29 June 2015, according to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). Hindi news channel India TV is the biggest offender airing as much as 22.66 minutes of ads (commercial and self-promotional) per hour in the peak time zone of 7 pm–10 pm. Malayalam news channel Mathrubhumi News is a minor offender airing 12.42 minutes of ads. The English news channels are better off than their Hindi news counterparts airing fewer ads in the time zone 7–10 pm.
