Decision to set-up independent Collective Newsroom comes after BBC offices in Delhi and Mumbai were raided by tax authorities in 2023
The BBC will split its operations in India into two separate companies, after raids by India’s tax authorities last year.
The BBC announced that it was forming an independent, Indian-owned company called the Collective Newsroom, which would produce content for the corporation’s six regional channels which broadcast in Indian languages including Hindi and Punjabi.
