The development was mentioned in Zee Entertainment’s annual report for FY 20 which was released recently.

ZEE5 already has a worldwide presence having launched in more than 190 countries in October 2018 which kicked off with the rollout in India’s neighbouring countries followed by roll-out in key SAARC markets.
