Hindustan Times in Patna,
at a glance.
The Patna edition of Hindustan Times — read by roughly 0.4 lakh readers every morning, and the de-facto announcement page for half the city.
Hindustan Times has been published in Patna as a city edition with its own classified pagination — making it one of the most-read English dailies in the city. 0.17 lakh copies are printed daily and reach roughly 0.4 lakh readers.
What sets the Patna edition apart isn't reach alone. It's the intent of the reader: an audience in active search, scanning a classified section that's kept on the kitchen counter for the rest of the week. The sub-categories let your ad reach the precise segment you're looking for, without the noise of an unmoderated online listing.

And yet booking Patna used to mean a trip to the regional office.
Until recently, advertising in Hindustan Times Patna meant calling a sub-agent, asking which sub-edition served your area, and confirming copy by phone or fax. Rates were memorised by brokers and revealed to advertisers a phone call at a time. Multi-city bundles required separate calls to separate offices.
That's the problem this page exists to solve. As the INS-accredited, authorized online booking platform for Hindustan Times, we book Patna ads directly into Hindustan Times at the official Patna rate, lowest-price guaranteed — with live preview, the right edition picker and bundle pricing all visible before you pay.
The section below walks through the three things that actually used to be hard — picking the right edition, composing for the right section and confirming the release date.
