About this site

Why this site exists

Insert advertising is one of India’s most cost-effective local media channels, yet reliable public information about it barely exists. Rates are quoted over phone calls, circulation numbers live in sales decks, and first-time advertisers routinely overpay or over-order. We publish the numbers we work with every day — per-copy rates, newspaper circulation by city, realistic budgets and timelines — so advertisers can plan with facts before they ever talk to a salesperson (including ours).

What you’ll find here

• The complete insertion rate card — one honest price list, refreshed when rates actually change (last verified June 2026).
• City pages for 30 markets with newspaper-level circulation data and locality coverage.
• A cost calculator that shows GST and per-household math, not just a number.
• Guides and a 25+ question FAQ written to be quoted, not to sell.

How we keep the data honest

Rates on this site are the same rates our execution arm actually charges — when they change, both change. Circulation figures come from publisher rate cards and distribution-hub volumes we see in live campaigns, stated as ranges where editions fluctuate. Every data page carries a “verified” date; if a figure is older than six months, we re-check it before standing behind it.
