Disney International HD is an Indian pay television owned by The Walt Disney Company India, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. It is Disney India's first channel to be broadcast in high-definition and broadcast in a 16:9 aspect ratio. The channel primary airs Disney American originals.

The channel is primarily funded by subscriptions with secondary revenue from advertising and is targeted to the 14-25 years age group while the other Disney networks broadcast in the area are aimed towards a 2-14 age group audience.[1]

History

In April 2016, Disney Channel India dropped live-action programming to focus more on local animation, as those shows drove better ratings.[2][better source needed]

Disney Broadcasting India had made a license application for Disney International HD on 17 March 2017 with the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (MIB).[3] MIB approved the license on September 1, 2017, to take over from Bindass Play with Bindass Play programming shifting over to Bindass. The channel was launched on 29 October 2017.[4] 10 of the 30 available TV series were on the channel at launch.

During the channel's first few weeks of broadcast, it didn't show any commercials.[5]

Disney International HD shows an exclusive (as it has not been syndicated elsewhere) library of over 1500 or more episodes coming from 30 live action series.[5][6] The channel also airs 100+ Disney movies selected for the targeted ages of 14 to 25 years old.[6]

On 15 August 2021, coinciding the Indian Independence Day, Disney Channel original movie Spin premiered on Disney International HD, two days after its release.[7]
