Abstract
This chapter examines the emerging industry and policy issues for television or audiovisual services in India. It examines the main goals and objectives of Indian policies for audiovisual media, the means used to achieve these goals beginning in the early 1980s, and developments to the early 1990s. These historical policies are related to some recent trends and policy issues in India's communications policies, and the numerous changes which affected the broadcasting environment in India after 1991. These include the introduction of domestic and foreign satellite services, cable television distribution networks, greater advertising revenues, and shifts in Doordarshan programming policies
