Mumbai: The Standing Committee on Communications and Information Technology has proposed bringing the ministries of electronics and IT (MeitY) and information and broadcasting (MIB) as well as the department of telecommunications<\/a> (DoT) under a single umbrella to improve coordination in addressing issues related to technology convergence<\/a> of communication and media technologies.<\/p>\n

The recommendation was made to the MIB as part of the parliamentary panel’s Demands for Grants report for 2025-26, which was presented in the Lok Sabha on Friday and in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“If need be, the ministry (MIB) may also look into the feasibility of bringing” the MeitY, MIB and the telecom department (DoT) “under one umbrella for better coordination for issues emerging due to the convergence of technologies,” the report said.<\/p>\n

However, the committee’s proposal is expected to face a pushback from the broadcasting industry<\/a>, industry insiders said.<\/p>\n

Industry bodies such as the Indian Broadcasting and Digital Foundation<\/a> (IBDF) have previously informed the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) during consultations that broadcasting services are fundamentally different from utility-based telecommunication services in their constitutional positioning.<\/p>\n

The standing committee has also urged the MIB to consider introducing a comprehensive media bill to address concerns related to broadcasting, cable television, and over-the-top (OTT) platforms.<\/p>\n
