Here's what Wikipedia says about them as a reliable source:
"Asian News International is an Indian news agency. For general reporting, Asian News International is considered to be between marginally reliable and generally unreliable, with consensus that it is biased and that it should be attributed in-text for contentious claims. For its coverage related to Indian domestic politics, foreign politics, and other topics in which the Government of India may have an established stake, there is consensus that Asian News International is questionable and generally unreliable due to its reported dissemination of pro-government propaganda."

This is the place where they list such sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources

Here's the discussion where that determination was made: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_331#RfC:_Asian_News_International_(ANI)
