Property rates by city
Indicative per-city rates — choose your edition in the rate bar below.
Display ads are priced per square centimetre, so the figure scales with the size you choose. The live calculator shows your exact rate (incl. GST) as you set the dimensions.
Multi-edition packages ·
Run one ad across multiple cities. Save up to 23%.
A newspaper carries many edition bundles — book several editions, or add a regional daily, in one order and one payment.
No surprises on price. Display ads are priced by area — width × height in sq.cm. A photo or colour doesn’t change the rate, only the size does. GST is shown separately.
No surprises on price
Exactly how your ad is priced — before you pay a rupee
The single most common question we get is ‘how was this number calculated?’ So here it is, in full. The price you see is the price you pay.
How it’s measured
Charged per square centimetre
Display ads are priced by area: width × height in sq.cm, at the published per-sq.cm rate for that edition.
A photo, logo or colour does not change the per-sq.cm rate — only the size you choose does.
You set the exact dimensions in the composer and the area × rate is shown live as you resize.

Booking two dates means two insertions, so the rate applies twice — the calculator shows this clearly before payment, never as a surprise.

Publish it in the language they actually read
Regional papers are read in the family language. We keep the intent intact and set the wording in a natural newspaper style, not word-for-word translation.
Property buyers and tenants still scan the The Hindu classifieds for local listings, edition by edition — especially the Sunday property section. Advertising in the city edition where your property sits puts it in front of serious, local enquiries with a photo, location and price.
