Tata Play Launches Tata Play Smart App Offering 500+ Channels Without Set-Top Box
Tata Play has launched Tata Play Smart, an app offering over 500 live television channels on smart TVs without requiring a set-top box or antenna. Priced at Rs 199 for the first language package and Rs 99 for additional languages, the service targets both urban and rural users as connected TV adoption grows in India. While expanding its digital offerings, Tata Play continues to support traditional direct-to-home (DTH) services amid industry subscriber declines, aiming to serve a broader audience through coexistence of DTH and streaming platforms.
