TEIL was in a joint venture with CNBC since 1998, and the news channel to be launched was called CNBC Awaaz. The company was in the middle of preparations to launch a Hindi business news channel but could no longer meet regulatory guidelines. This decreased the promoters' stake in the company from 75% to 26.11% by 2002 causing complications.
