Yes. Full-colour placement carries a premium over black & white — toggle the two modes above to compare. Both are priced live in the composer before you pay.

Hindustan Times display rates,
how they are set.

Display is priced per sq.cm and varies by supplement, city edition and colour mode — here is how to read the card above.

Display advertising in Hindustan Times is charged by area: a per-sq.cm rate for each city edition, multiplied by the width and height you book. The rate changes by supplement — the main newspaper commands the highest rate, with specialised pullouts priced for their audience.

Full colour carries a premium over black & white; switch the toggle above to compare. Premium positions — front page, back page, page 3, jackets — carry an additional loading quoted at booking.

You always pay the official Hindustan Times rate, lowest-price guaranteed — accreditation, not markup, is how we earn.
