Bauer Media shut down FHM & Zoo in UK in early 2016 along with some major license editions in a few countries. TCG Media Limited decided to continue publishing FHM India with consent from Bauer Media. TCG Media Limited is headquartered in New Delhi and also has offices in Ahmedabad, Mumbai and Bengaluru. [9]
