Shutdown and relaunch

In early 2017, the Income Tax Department slapped a penalty of 525 crore on NDTV for tax evasion. Many financial scams and cases have been filed against the owners of NDTV by many people and organisations accusing them of involvement in cheating shareholders' money, money laundering and tax evasion by publishing fake profit and loss statement. [3] Due to these problems they decided to shutdown NDTV Profit. [4] By time of closing NDTV Profit runs as a dual channel with the infotainment channel NDTV Prime and the business channel was completely replaced by NDTV Prime. [5] The executive co-chairperson of the NDTV, Prannoy Roy said that it decided to also transfer its business programmings from NDTV Profit to regular business and financial segments to NDTV 24x7 after the shut down. He also said that the company may look at reviving the business when the circumstances are appropriate but they hadn't ruled out about it.
