TV18 Broadcast is set to launch its Gujarati business news channel CNBC Bajar on 1 July. After ETV News Gujarati, this is the second channel launch since Mukesh Ambani-controlled Reliance Industries took over the company.
Incidentally, this is the first regional-language business news channel in India. The idea was floated by the earlier management team headed by founder-promoter Raghav Bahl long ago but could not be launched due to financial constraints.
RIL-controlled TV18 Broadcast will, thus, have in Gujarati a general news and a business news channel. Gujaratis are a prosperous community and the state has gained importance after Narendra Modi has become the prime minister.
