NDTV

Political leaning and stance

NDTV is consistently favourable toward Narendra Modi, in a respectful and supportive tone that quotes him as authoritative and treats criticism as coming from opponents; India as a country is favourable or neutral. Toward Donald Trump and the United States the headlines are skeptical and critical in most months, though neutral in some. Pakistan is treated critically and Iran mostly neutrally, while Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu swing between favourable and critical from month to month, with no settled pattern. China and Xi Jinping are covered respectfully. The stance is measured from headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.

Based on headlines from January 2026 to August 2026.

NDTV was founded in 1988 by Prannoy Roy and Radhika Roy and is headquartered in New Delhi. It is now controlled by the Adani Group, which took a majority stake around 2022 to 2023.
