Where Marathi is read
Maharashtra, region by region.
Marathi is the language of Maharashtra and is also read in Goa and in Belagavi in Karnataka. Mumbai is the business capital, but Pune, Nashik, Nagpur, Kolhapur, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and Solapur each have desks that decide what their readers see.
Maharashtra reads in three languages. In Mumbai, a Marathi release often runs alongside English and Hindi versions; in Pune, Vidarbha, Marathwada and western Maharashtra, the Marathi papers carry the story on their own.
Marathi media
The Marathi press, from Mumbai to Nagpur.
Leading dailies
Lokmat is the most-read Marathi daily by a clear margin, followed by Sakal, Pudhari, Punya Nagari and Maharashtra Times (IRS 2019 Q4, Maharashtra).
Regional strongholds
Sakal for Pune, Pudhari for Kolhapur and western Maharashtra, Deshonnati for Vidarbha, Divya Marathi from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, and Tarun Bharat for Belagavi and Goa.
Influence beyond circulation
Loksatta and Saamana are read closely by opinion-makers and in politics, and Maharashtra Times is especially strong in Mumbai.
TV and digital news
Marathi channels such as ABP Majha, Zee 24 Taas, TV9 Marathi and Saam TV, and the dailies' own sites.

What works
What a Marathi desk runs.
A district, a city, a community
Marathi desks run stories with a clear local benefit: jobs in Nashik, a hospital in Nagpur, a campus in Pune.
Ganeshotsav, Gudi Padwa and Diwali
Ganeshotsav fills the late-summer calendar, Gudi Padwa in spring is a big day for buying homes, vehicles and gold, and Diwali brings the Diwali ank, Maharashtra's tradition of special festive issues.
Farms and cooperatives
Sugar, onions, cotton, cooperative banks and rainfall are front-page news outside Mumbai, so agri, rural finance and FMCG stories have a ready audience.
Print still matters
District editions are read closely across the state, and a placement in the right one reaches readers that digital alone misses.
Story types
Story types and the desks that run them.
| Story | Where it usually lands | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Statewide launch or investment | Lokmat, Sakal and their sites | The widest Marathi readership |
| Pune business or education | Sakal and the Pune editions | Pune's leading daily |
| Kolhapur, Sangli, Satara, Konkan | Pudhari | Dominant across western Maharashtra |
| Mumbai city news | Maharashtra Times, Loksatta and the Mumbai editions | Urban Marathi readers |
| Vidarbha and Marathwada | Lokmat's Nagpur editions, Deshonnati, Divya Marathi | Regions with their own news priorities |
How we distribute
Written in Marathi, sent to Marathi desks.
- 01
Brief and angle
We start from your English release or brief and find the Marathi angle: the town, the benefit or the person a Marathi reader will care about.
- 02
Native writing
A writer who reads the Marathi press every day writes the release in Marathi, with names, places and figures the way local desks expect them. Marathi is one of the 11 Indian languages we write in.
- 03
Wire plus Marathi desks
The release goes out on the national wires and directly to Marathi newspapers, news sites and their regional desks. Where print matters, we plan for the printed page as well as the link.
- 04
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 Marathi campaigns use one or both, chosen by the result you need.

FAQ
Marathi distribution questions
What is Marathi press release distribution?
It is the distribution of a press release written in Marathi to Marathi newspapers, news sites and desks, such as Lokmat, Sakal and Pudhari, so the announcement reaches readers in Maharashtra in their own language.
Which Marathi newspapers are most read?
In IRS 2019 Q4, Lokmat led Maharashtra by a clear margin, followed by Sakal, Pudhari, Punya Nagari and Maharashtra Times. Your outlet list is planned on your brief.
Should a Mumbai launch go out in Marathi?
Usually alongside English and Hindi. Mumbai reads in all three, and a Marathi version reaches readers of Maharashtra Times, Loksatta and Lokmat that an English release will not.
Do you translate the English release into Marathi?
We write the Marathi version natively from your approved English release or brief, rather than translating it word for word. It is written by someone who reads the Marathi press every day, so it reads as news to a Marathi desk.
How much does Marathi press release distribution cost?
Marathi 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.
