ABP News unveils its new logo
MUMBAI: ABP News have always stood by the belief of “Aapkorakheaage” – keeping its viewers ahead. If the news is out there, we’re out there pursuing it. It’s this spirit of persistence that has over the years fueled us to keep going after the truth.
But times are changing fast and we need to adapt. The world today is a world of changing political strategies, crashing and booming economies, fast paced technology and unexpected entertainment. While nobody can doubt the grip we have on the news, it’s just a matter of tightening it further.
To take on this new world, we’ve transformed, while retaining our core belief of “Aapkorakheaage”.
The brand logo is now a daring combination of red and yellow. The colours draw from the lineage of ABP, one of the most respected media institutions in the country. They reinforce our commitment to a fair, unbiased and open culture. Red signifies our passion and determination to put our viewers first and yellow is the colour of intellect and aspiration.
With these new colours comes a new approach. Our viewers will stay ahead through better information, better analysis and higher engagement. It’s a mantra that will give them a tighter grip on the world of news. It’s what will help us take on unseen challenges and give our viewers a deeper understanding of every news story we report. If we were to say all of this in one simple line, it would be,ABP News unveils its new logo.

Network18 Q4 revenue grows 9.7 per cent, EBITDA at Rs 30 crore
PAT improves to Rs 306.6 crore, margins steady amid cost pressures.
MUMBAI: Not all news is breaking, some of it is quietly improving. Network18 Media & Investments Limited appears to be doing just that, tightening losses and stabilising margins even as costs continue to weigh on the business. For FY26, the company reported revenue from operations of Rs 1,955.1 crore, up from Rs 1,896.2 crore in FY25, signalling modest top-line growth in a challenging media environment. Total income stood at Rs 1,978.2 crore, compared to Rs 1,913 crore a year earlier.
Profit after tax came in at Rs 306.6 crore for the year, a sharp turnaround from Rs 3,225.4 crore in FY25, largely reflecting the absence of large exceptional items that had inflated the previous year’s numbers. On a more comparable basis, the company’s operating performance showed signs of gradual stabilisation.
However, the quarterly picture remained under pressure. For the March quarter, Network18 reported a loss of Rs 53.1 crore, narrower than the Rs 98.1 crore loss in the same period last year, but still indicative of ongoing cost challenges.
Expenses continued to track high. Total expenses for FY26 stood at Rs 2,235.7 crore, up from Rs 2,197.8 crore in FY25. Key cost heads included operational expenses of Rs 765.9 crore, employee benefits of Rs 475.9 crore, and marketing, distribution and promotional spends of Rs 427.1 crore, underlining the continued investment required to sustain reach and engagement.
At an operating level, margins remained under strain. Operating margin stood at 2.33 per cent for FY26, marginally higher than 1.77 per cent in FY25, while net profit margin remained negative at -13.02 per cent, though improved from -14.89 per cent.
On the balance sheet, total assets rose to Rs 8,957.6 crore as of 31 March 2026, from Rs 8,317.5 crore a year earlier. Equity strengthened to Rs 4,958.7 crore, while borrowings increased to Rs 3,112.8 crore, reflecting a higher reliance on debt to support operations.
Cash flows told a mixed story. While financing activities generated Rs 83.9 crore, operating cash flow remained negative at Rs -24 crore, highlighting ongoing pressure on core cash generation. Cash and cash equivalents, however, improved to Rs 33.9 crore from Rs 1.8 crore.
The numbers point to a company in transition growing revenues, trimming losses, but still grappling with structural cost pressures. In a sector where scale often comes at a price, Network18 seems to be inching towards balance, one quarter at a time.
