Discovery HD World was the first full-time high-definition channel in India. It was launched on 4 March 2010. There was also an Asian (i.e., Southeast Asian) channel called Discovery HD World that was renamed to Discovery Asia in 2017. When Animal Planet and TLC launched HD feeds in 2014, those also carried the HD World branding.

Discovery Channel 2019

Discovery Channel in India introduced the 2019 international logo on 8 August 2019 along with the new international graphics package. This rebrand came less than a month after that of sister channel Animal Planet in July. Furthermore, Discovery HD World was renamed to Discovery HD. Since Animal Planet’s HD version had already dropped the HD World branding, this left only TLC HD World with that branding, until it too changed on 7 October 2019.
