TAM India Applies for Licence to Resume Television Audience Measurement
TAM India has applied for a licence under the Television Ratings Policy, 2026, to resume operations as a television audience measurement agency after exiting the market in 2016. The application was submitted to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting amid ongoing suspension of BARC India's ratings pending licence renewal. BARC plans to expand its measurement panel from 67,000 to 80,000 homes. TAM's ownership changes have removed previous hurdles, potentially introducing a second ratings provider in India.
