DW's Director General Peter Limbourg and Prasar Bharati CEO Jawhar Sircar signed three joint understandings for future programming under the existing MOU of 2011 with DW in an event held at Prasar Bharati. The first represents a major step towards creating new programming, with a co-production of DW's award-winning show Euromaxx in Hindi. The second extends the rights to dub DW's Hindi science program Manthan into other Indian languages. The third understanding is for telecast of sports programmes from Transtel.

“We believe that co-productions offer a fantastic opportunity to not only reach out to larger audiences, but to create a better bond with our premium partners,” said  Limbourg, DG, DW. “Our work with Prasar Bharati and Doordarshan has been successful for both parties and we hope to continue that in the future.”
