Compare what an ad actually costs across papers, categories and cities — with no opaque counting. Pick the three things below and we show the number, and how it’s built.
Four things move the number. Nothing else is added at checkout.
Reach sets the rate. A single city edition costs far less than the full multi-city run of the same title.
Matrimonial, property and recruitment sit on separate rate cards — the same paper prices each of them differently.
Priced per line above a minimum block, so extra lines add up. Sunday and bumper editions carry a premium.
Tick, bold, border, a box or a photo each add a fixed amount on top of the base rate.
Add a national + a regional paper to one order, pay once, track it together. The #1 reason advertisers choose us.
Send a few details — even a photo of handwritten matter — and we draft, translate into your language and show a proof. You approve before it prints.
Lowest price · we write & translate it · runs tomorrow if you book by 5 PM.
Use the finder or the compare table to land on a real, GST-inclusive rate.
Add a volume combo or 2-paper bundle to cut the per-insertion cost.
We draft/translate free; you approve a proof, pick dates and pay securely.
There is no single newspaper advertisement rate. What you pay depends on the newspaper, the edition, the category, the length or size of the ad and the day it runs — which is why a quote can range from a few hundred rupees to several lakh.
Newspaper ad rates are published per newspaper and per edition, not per country, so the honest answer to "what does a newspaper ad cost" always begins with a question back: which paper, which city, and what kind of ad? The rate finder on this page settles exactly that — pick your category, newspaper and city and it returns the live rate that applies, along with any multi-edition package that includes your edition.
Classified text ads are charged by the line or by the word, with a minimum that most short notices reach anyway. Classified display and display ads are charged by the square centimetre, so the price is width × height × the edition's rate. On top of the base rate, a premium day (Sunday for matrimonial and property, the appointments supplement for recruitment), a specific page, or colour will each cost more. Every figure we show adds 5% GST, and the rate you see is the rate you book at.
Four steps to a real number, not an estimate.
Display advertisements — a front-page strip, a quarter page, a half page or a full page — are quoted per square centimetre against the edition's display rate card, so a full page in a metro edition runs into lakhs while the same size in a district edition can cost a small fraction of that. Display space is also perishable: the printed rack rate is a starting point rather than the final price, and what you actually pay depends on the date, the page and what is unsold. Tell us the newspaper, size and date and we will come back with the real number.
