flag RT India launched Dec. 5, 2025, during Putin’s visit, marking Russia’s major media push into India amid strengthened bilateral ties.

flag RT India launched on December 5, 2025, during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to New Delhi, marking the state-funded broadcaster’s largest international expansion. flag The channel, which will air four English-language programs daily, aims to offer an alternative to Western media narratives amid growing interest in non-Western perspectives. flag Its debut featured a high-profile campaign across Delhi, including a Matryoshka doll installation and metro takeover, and coincided with strengthened India-Russia ties, including a news-sharing agreement between PTI and TASS. flag While some view RT India as a bridge for people-to-people connections and a diversifier in India’s media landscape, concerns remain over state-backed influence, especially given RT’s bans in Europe. flag The launch follows Putin’s praise for India’s global role and its continued energy trade with Russia, even as the rupee hit a record low.
