Excerpts from CNBC-TV18’s exclusive interview with Haresh Chawla:

Q: Going forward how does the picture look like?

A:  These numbers are only for our CNBC-TV 18 channel and our Internet business. Awaaz and CNN- IBN channels are yet to be integrated into listed companies and that is going to go through a re- structuring right now.

We have seen extremely good performance from our four channels. Even Channel 7, which is set to be re-launched within the next 10 days, has shown an improvement in ratings. For the moment, we are going to consolidate the growth that we are seeing.

Another thing that we have announced is that we will hive off all our Internet operations into a fully own subsidiary and fund it separately and give it a very sharp focus. We will probably raise funds there as well to scale up that business. Today our focus is equally on Internet and TV.

Q: For this particular quarter how much did the Internet business pump in?

A: The Internet business has given us about Rs 6 crore. It is over six times since the last year. 

Q: When do you expect Awaaz to break even?

A: Awaaz has already broken even. Now it is growing into profitability. We expect that growth to continue.

Q: Tell us about your capex plans for the year?

A: We have internally chalked out very aggressive growth plan both for TV and Internet businesses. I cannot disclose the figures right now as to what are our investment plans. They are surely in excess of Rs 300 crore.
