| Jio Tv for Android |
Jio tv is probably the youngest and dynamic entry in this list. If it was not restricted to Jio users only, it probably would have been in the first place. Jio TV works on Jio 4g and provides live TV channel streaming of over 300 Indian TV channels.
The app not only includes live streaming of the number of channels, but it also includes unlimited catch-up of channels as opposed to the 7-day limit in Dito TV. Thus, it has practically a fully streamable TV serial season library in your pocket.
Jio TV also offers live TV channel streaming and catch-up for local language channels, although recorded catch-ups are not available for movie channels and sports channels.
HotStar

There is no alternative to Hotstar when it comes to streaming Star Network channels on Android. Indian TV channels such as Star Plus HD, Star Sports 1, 2, 3 or Life OK etc. are owned by Star India. Except Hotstar, no app offers free or recorded streaming of the above Star India channels - Star Plus, Life OK etc. Thus, to watch Star India channel or to watch live sports match streaming from Star Sports Premium - Hotstar is the only option. Hotstar is free to use with a one-day delay to watch TV serials and a 5-minute delay in terms of live sports streaming.
The premium version of Hotstar is free from all such limitations. Thus, what makes it truly unique and helps Hotstar occupy the third place.
Yupp TV

When it comes to offering live TV streaming and catch-up services, Upp TV gives Chank TV & Jio TV a neck-to-neck competition.
Like Chank TV and Jio TV, Yupp TV offers online live TV channel streaming of over 200 channels, and catches-up to previous episodes or recorded TV shows.
The only reason we ranked it 4th is due to the low number of free channels compared to the first 2. Apart from this, Yup TV does a great job of streaming live channels and providing a recorded catch of previous episodes on your Android.
Ozee

| Ozee for Android |
Ozee is yet another online live TV channel streaming app created by Zee Entertainment Limited. Although both Ozee & Ditto TV are owned by Zee - OZee focuses only on "Zee Channel Group - Zee TV, and TV (and TV), Ten Sports, Ten. HD etc." while Ditto TV is an omni-channel.
OG does a great job in providing live streaming of channels like Ten HD, Ten Sports which are a bit rare on other apps.
Apart from this, they also provide live and recorded TV shows of OG Zee TV HD, Zee Regional channels. It also provides streaming of movies and music owned by Zee Entertainment and thus is a good companion.

| SonyLiv For Android |
SonyLiv typically focuses on providing streaming of Sony Entertainment Television Ltd or (SET) content. However, the number of content that can be watched live for free on Sony Live is very limited (Sony WOW and Sony Mix only), although all Sony channels open in a paid subscription.
The best part of SonyLiv is that it provides all recorded catch-ups of its hosted shows and events - thus, you can watch all the episodes of The Kapil Sharma Show from the beginning or the latest La Liga match which You missed the catch-up. Thus, it is a better deal than Voot but the absence of live sports puts it in a lower position than Hotstar or OG.
Voot

| Voot for Android |
At the time of writing this article Voot appears to be in beta stage. It tries to do a lot of things but is a bit lacking in the power of the material. Voot Colors offers catches of all shows on TV (Bigg Boss etc.), offers live streaming of Bigg Boss on Android, but the app is limited to content sponsored only by colors. The app also offers a number of children's movies, English shows and cartoons (of anime) for live streaming, but the content in English does not attract the majority of common Indian TV using crowds.
However, free streaming of Voot video also loads on 2G connections, and the number of app updates holds a good promise.
So, these are the best or top 7 free Indian live TV apps for watching live TV channels on Android phones. Please feel free to comment if you think we have missed any app or have any doubts or questions about any of the apps mentioned above.
