Eros' iPad application becomes the no.1 downloaded

Entertainment application in India

London, November 28, 2011: Eros International plc ('Eros' or 'the Company'), the leading global company for Indian filmed entertainment, announces the soft release on 11th November of its dedicated Eros iPad application and is delighted to note that in India it is already the No.1 downloaded entertainment application and ranks in the top ten of downloaded applications across all categories .

The launch of the application signals Eros' intent to deliver its premium content across new digital formats, particularly within India where:

• Growth rates in the Indian Media & Entertainment digital sub-sector are estimated to be c.30%;

• The advent and consumer take-up of tablets and smart device computers and their suitability as a platform for audio-visual media is rapidly increasing; 

• The Government target of 600 million internet users in the next 5 years, making India the largest online population in the world, is expected to be met by mobile internet and other 3G connectivity.

The planned roll out of 4G spectrum in 2012 will further ignite the consumption of data-rich entertainment content.

As such, Eros' iPad application launch complements macro growth drivers within the Indian Media & Entertainment industry, Indian government

policy as well as the company's own digital strategy.  Furthermore, the company's progress during 2011 in digitalising its 2,100-strong film library

is enabling the Group to monetise its intellectual property and has positioned itself well to service the new digital products and services expected

in 2012.

Ricky Ghai, CEO of Eros Digital, said: "We are delighted that the launch of the Eros iPad application has been so well received in India without any marketing or promotion. This is the first of many new and exciting digital / new media initiatives that Eros Digital intends to rollout in the near future."
