The first edition of The Bombay Times and Journal of Commerce, later to be called The Times of India, was launched in Mumbai in 1838. After several years of change, evolution and growth in the paper’s character, the company, the proprietors of the Times of India Group, was established with the principal objective of publishing newspapers, journals, magazines and books.

 

Today, the company is India’s largest media house. The Times Group is a multi-edition, multi-product, multi-media organization, and has to its credit several leading publications. Among the publications are The Times of India, The Economic Times, Navbharat Times, Maharashtra Times, Femina and Filmfare. The Group also has interests in the entertainment and media industry in the form of Radio Mirchi, Planet Mall, Times Music and Times Multimedia.

 

In April 2000, Times Internet Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the company, was floated to handle the Group’s internet properties. Times Internet Limited’s mother brand is Indiatimes.

 

REVIEW OF OPERATION:

 

During the 8 months period ended 31st March 2010, the flagship brand. The Times of India recorded a marginal decline of 3.6% in net sales with the average daily net sales at 39.9 lakhs copies compared to the corresponding earlier period (previous period’s average sales being 41.48 lakhs copies.) The editions recording growth were the Chennai edition at 10.2% (average daily sales in the current period being 2.49 lakhs copies versus 2.26 lakh copies. Ant the Hyderabad edition at 6.04%) (Average daily sales for the period being 2.34 lakh copies versus 2.20 lakh copies.)

 

The mirror editions held their ground, trailing the flagship brands in all the city markets, namely Mumbai, Bangalore, Ahmedabad and Pune.

 

The economic Times showed a decline in circulation of 8.5% over the previous periods with average daily net sles for the current year at 6.58 lakh copies (previous period 7.19 laks copies) in line with the sluggishness in the business environment and the Indian stock markets. However, it held its market share intact as the leading business daily.

The Time of India Crest edition had a highly successful launch at several centers during the period. The crest edition is now available form 7 major locations Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Chennai and Hyderabad, and their respective satellite cities and upcountry markets. The crest editions in Mach 2010 clocked a combined net sales of nearly 5 laks copies across all enters.

 

The speaking Tree which was launched in the middle of March 2010 in the Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore markets also had a highly successful launch.

 

There is sustained competitive pressure in the General Interest English Dailies, Business Dailies and Vemacular Markets. However the inherent strengths of the company brands coupled with the marketing strategies, should enable the company consolidate its position in the industry.
