I've not heard of companies paying realistic punitive damages in India, but adding a huge Punitive damage (say 5 crore or 20% of their revenue) is the only way to ensure that someone else does not do this in future. Else a TV channel can easily afford to pay up a couple of lakhs. I'm sure they made more revenue than that, the day they "broke the story".
