Softech Radio - 850+ Live FM, AM & Web Radio Stations

India's Public & Commercial Broadcasting Heritage

India's radio landscape combines a rich legacy of public service broadcasting with vibrant commercial private FM networks. At the core of our directory is All India Radio (Akashvani), the venerable public broadcaster operated by Prasar Bharati. Akashvani broadcasts national and regional bulletins across dozens of languages, including the iconic Vividh Bharati, FM Gold, FM Rainbow, and regional primary channels from Thiruvananthapuram, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi.

Alongside public service radio, private commercial FM stations bring non-stop entertainment, chart-topping music, and engaging RJ shows. Our live index aggregates leading networks including Radio Mirchi 98.3, Red FM 93.5 (Bajaate Raho!), Big FM 92.7, Radio City 91.1, Fever FM, and premier regional brands such as Club FM (Mathrubhumi) and Radio Mango (Malayala Manorama).
