Here are some more important points

Dish TV is targeting ARPU growth of 6 per cent in FY16. The high-definition (HD) subscriber population is increasing but this upside in ARPU is somewhat muted with Zing accounting for 22 per cent of the company’s incremental subscriber addition. However, the company is going to introduce price increase in packages before the festive season.

Dish TV has no plan to increase transponder capacity. Transponder cost would be around Rs 160 crore (Rs 1.6 billion) for FY16.

Another round of price hike.

Unless price is hiked, profit can't be made.
