OTF Exclusive Airtel is in the process of reducing Digital TV (IPTV/DTH) benefits on Airtel Black plans

Today while randomly browsing the Airtel website, I found that they are in the process of updating their Airtel Black page with reduction of Digital TV (IPTV/DTH) benefits.

Digital TV benefits have been reduced from Rs. 350 worth TV Channels to Rs. 260 worth TV Channels for all Black plans on all plans.

Since they are doing the update right now, I could grab screenshots of both old and new benefits side by side.

This move comes after their recent DTH range products tariff hike: DDF Exclusive - Airtel DTH increased new connection and pack prices w.e.f. 27th March 2025

Some screenshots highlight the difference between the new and old benefits:

One doubt

260 with ncf or without ncf ?

Or dth ₹350 and iptv ₹260 ?

Both dth and iptv have same ncf for black plans (Rs 91), Rs. 350/- including ncf excluding gst

TRAi channel selector app is not properly sync with Airtel Digital TV from today, it shows connectivity issues with operator. So Airtel doing bad things in the back end.

I think iptv excludes ncf and thats the reason they reduced exactly 90 rs.

In places where iptv is launched its showing this 260rs thing and in places like delhi where iptv is launched it still shows only 350. so no change for end user i guess
