Gujarati PR Distribution
Gujarati Press Release Distribution in India
Gujarati readers are business readers: traders, manufacturers, investors and families who follow the market as closely as the news. Indian PR Distribution (IPRD)® writes your release natively in Gujarati and takes it to the Gujarati dailies, their regional editions and the Gujarati news sites and channels, with the national wires behind it.

Where Gujarati is read
Several markets in one state.
Gujarati is the language of Gujarat and of large communities in Mumbai, and of a diaspora in the UK, the US and East Africa that still follows Gujarati news. Ahmedabad is the media centre; Surat, Vadodara, Rajkot, Bhavnagar and Bhuj each have papers and editions of their own.
Saurashtra, Kutch, South Gujarat and Ahmedabad read different papers and care about different industries, from diamonds and textiles in Surat to ports and salt in Kutch. A Gujarati plan is usually a regional plan.
Gujarati media
The Gujarati press, city by city.
The big three
Gujarat Samachar, Sandesh and Divya Bhaskar are close on total readership, with Gujarat Samachar ahead on average issue readership (IRS 2019 Q4, Gujarat).
Regional papers
Saurashtra Samachar in Bhavnagar, Kutchmitra in Kutch, Phulchhab in Rajkot and Gujaratmitra in Surat carry their own regions.
Mumbai Samachar
Published since 1822, Mumbai Samachar is India's oldest running newspaper and the main Gujarati daily outside Gujarat.
TV and digital news
Gujarati channels such as TV9 Gujarati, ABP Asmita and the Sandesh group's news channel, and the dailies' own sites.
Titles are named for orientation; your outlet list is planned on your brief. For the full picture, with readership data, see the 10 most popular Gujarati newspapers.
What works
What a Gujarati desk runs.
Business first
Expansion, investment, listings, results and new plants are front-page news in Gujarat. Give the desk the figure, the place and the jobs.
Navratri, Uttarayan and the new year
Navratri is the biggest cultural moment of the year, Uttarayan's kite festival fills mid-January, and Diwali and the Gujarati New Year close the festive season.
City and community
Gujarati readers follow their city and community closely. A Surat, Rajkot or Vadodara angle does better locally than a statewide claim.
Print still matters
Gujarati dailies are read at home and in offices across the state, and a placement in the right regional edition carries weight.

How we distribute
Written in Gujarati, sent to Gujarati desks.
- 01
Brief and angle
We start from your English release or brief and find the Gujarati angle: the town, the benefit or the person a Gujarati reader will care about.
- 02
Native writing
A writer who reads the Gujarati press every day writes the release in Gujarati, with names, places and figures the way local desks expect them. Gujarati is one of the 11 Indian languages we write in.
- 03
Wire plus Gujarati desks
The release goes out on the national wires and directly to Gujarati newspapers, news sites and their regional desks. Where print matters, we plan for the printed page as well as the link.

Report
You receive every live link, with the outlet and the date, in one report you can share.
Sponsored distribution fixes the date, the outlet and the wording; editorial coverage is the desk's decision, and media relations is how we earn it. Most Gujarati campaigns use one or both, chosen by the result you need.

FAQ
Gujarati distribution questions
What is Gujarati press release distribution?
It is the distribution of a press release written in Gujarati to Gujarati newspapers, news sites and desks, such as Gujarat Samachar, Sandesh and Divya Bhaskar, so the announcement reaches readers in Gujarat and Mumbai in their own language.
Which Gujarati newspapers are most read?
In IRS 2019 Q4, Gujarat Samachar, Sandesh and Divya Bhaskar led Gujarat, close on total readership, followed by Saurashtra Samachar and Kutchmitra. Your outlet list is planned on your brief.
Does a Gujarati release reach Mumbai?
Yes. Mumbai Samachar and the Mumbai editions of Gujarat Samachar and Sandesh reach Gujarati readers in Mumbai, many of them in business families.
Do you translate the English release into Gujarati?
We write the Gujarati version natively from your approved English release or brief, rather than translating it word for word. It is written by someone who reads the Gujarati press every day, so it reads as news to a Gujarati desk.
How much does Gujarati press release distribution cost?
Gujarati distribution is quoted on your brief, by outlets, format and whether print is included. For reference, our published wire tiers start at SingleWire from ₹11,999 + GST, MultiWire Standard from ₹28,999 + GST and DiscoveryWire Standard from ₹45,999 + GST.
