In recent years the company has also been expanding its reality shows output with shows such as titles such as Box Cricket League on Sony TV. In November 2012 the company launched BOLT Media Ltd, a subsidiary to Balaji Telefilms specialising in for advertisements and online content.

Balaji was converted into a Public Limited Company on 29 February 2000 and subsequently its name was changed to Balaji Telefilms Ltd on 19 April 2000.[10] The company made public issue of 28,00,000 No. of Equity Shares of Rs. 10/- each issued for cash at a premium of ₹ 120 per share aggregating Rs. 36.40 crore. The issue includes a Book Built Portion of 25,20,000 No. of equity shaes and a Fixed Price Portion of 2,80,000 No. of equity shares.[10] In the same year, Nine Network Entertainment India Pvt. Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nine Broadcasting India Pvt. Ltd., merged with Balaji Telefilms Ltd.[10]

In 2007, the company created wholly owned subsidiary Balaji Motion Pictures which creates Bollywood movies. In 2010, the company also created ALT Entertainment a banner to produce and concentrate on niche and youth subjects in films and television.

In 2013, the company created BOLT Media Limited yet another a wholly owned subsidiary of Balaji Telefilms which has produced the shows Love By Chance, Yeh Jawani Ta Ra Ri Ri and Dharmakshetra for various channels and has also created and produced various advertisements .

In November 2014, its wholly owned subsidiary Balaji Motion Pictures had tied up a deal with B4U, a Bollywood film production company to co-produce Bollywood films.

In 2014, the company and Ekta Kapoor herself were subject to protests in Jaipur led by the Shri Rajput Karni Sena (SRKS), a Hindutva pressure group. These occurred because of perceived communal slights in the Jodha Akbar television series.[11][12][13]
