  It is known that beyond $2 \otimes 2$ and $2 \otimes 3$ dimensional quantum
systems, Peres-Hordecki criterion is no longer sufficient as an entanglement
detection criterion as there are entangled states with both positive and
negative partial transpose (PPT and NPT). Further, it is also true that all PPT
entangled states are bound entangled states. However, in the class of NPT
states, there can exist bound entangled states as well as free entangled
states. All free/useful/distillable entanglement is a part of the class of NPT
entangled states. In this article, we ask the question that given an NPT
entangled state in $3 \otimes3$ dimensional system as a resource, how much
entanglement can we broadcast so that resource still remains NPT. We have
chosen $3 \otimes 3$ system as a first step to understand broadcasting of NPT
states in higher dimensional systems. In particular, we find out the range of
broadcasting of NPT entanglement for Two parameter Class of States (TPCS) and
Isotropic States (IS). Interestingly, as a derivative of this process we are
also able to locate the existence of absolute PPT states (ABPPT) in $3 \otimes
3$ dimensional system. Here we implement the strategy of broadcasting through
approximate cloning operations.
