Hinduja Group, which has interests in cable TV distribution business through IndusInd Media and Communications Ltd, is planning to launch Headend-In-The-Sky (HITS) platform for smaller cable TV operators to offer digital service.

The HITS business will be under Grant Investrade, an investment arm of the Hindujas. Grant Investrade holds 6 per cent stake in IMCL.

Grant Investrade has applied to the Information and Broadcasting ministry for a licence to operate HITS.

"We applied for HITS licence about two weeks back. We feel that there will be a huge demand for such a service in the third and fourth phase of digitization which will spread over small towns," IMCL managing director Ravi Mansukhani tells Indiantelevision.com.
