Kon'nichiwa!!
Starting from March 27,2022(sunday) i.e.on the first day of coming summer season of international broadcasting season A22, Radio Japan NHK World Hindi transmission will be on air once only as follows
from 1530utc( from 9.00PM at night in India) everyday on 11655kHz
There will be no rebroadcast of the feature program sections of the transmissions as before(twice after the live broadcast ) on shortwave.And the live broadcast will be available on the website plus on demands audio etc as before.I heard this announcement on last sunday mailbag program (March 13th...unlucky 13th) Cheri Ke Desh Say.
As far as I could recall I had not heard duration of the broadcast 30 minutes or 20 minutes.
Later checking HFCC A22 date base on HFCC website , it has come to my notice this transmission is listed 30 minute duration and the transmission will be from Yamata (300kW).

Thanks VU2JOS,Hyderabad for posting the link.
And Radio Japan's Bengali transmission is listed on 11655kHz via Yamata Japan (300kW) everyday on 1500utc(8:30PM Indian Standard Time & 9:00PM Bangladesh Standard Time) for half an hour.
And it is after many seasons, Radio Japan will transmit Bengali & Hindi transmissions from Yamata Transmitter Station as per I could recall.
The KDDI Corp.’s Yamata Transmission Station(Koga City , Ibaraki Prefecture?) is the Japan's only shortwave transmission facility for overseas broadcasts.
Here is link to a post on Yamata
Here is a front side of a QSL Card from Radio Japan I received in early 2000s for my detail reception report to Radio Japan via their Indian Postal address in New Delhi, featuring their their coverage areas on shortwave via Yamata & other leased transmitter sites around the world.
More reports,observations etc soon
Toriaezu sayōnara!!!
