Zee Group Chairman Subhash Chandra has said that his recommendation to his brother Jawahar Lal Goel (DishTV MD) to buy Videocon d2h was a "key error" which cost both a "fortune". He also said Essel Infra made "incorrect bids" which cost it ₹4,000-5,000 crore. Chandra added that when most infra companies left lenders with bad loans, he didn't walk away.
