CNBC TV18 is an Indian pay television business and financial news channel operated as a joint venture between NBCUniversal and Network18 Group.

The network has its origins in ABNi, an Indian sub-feed of the Dow Jones-led Asia Business News (ABN) owned by TV18.

However, the agreement for ABNi did not contain any provisions on what would occur in the event of a change in ownership.
