A <a href=\"https:\/\/riyoadvertising.com\/property-ads.shtml\">property advertisement in Mumbai newspaper<\/a> carries higher rates than many other cities in India. Combo packages follow a different pricing structure, and the publication day plays a bigger role because buyers of real estate ads newspaper continue to read the Sunday Times Property supplement as part of their property search.<\/p>\r\n        <p>This guide explains property ad costs across Mumbai's newspapers in 2026, the combo package that fits your budget, and the booking process for the right newspaper.<\/p>\r\n\r\n        <h2 id=\"sec2\">How Much Does a Property Advertisement Cost in Mumbai Newspaper?<\/h2>\r\n        <p>A standalone classified text ad in the <a href=\"https:\/\/riyoadvertising.com\/the-times-of-india-property-ads.shtml\">Times of India property ads<\/a> Mumbai edition starts at \u20b94,000 for a standard 5-line property ad in newspaper listing. Combo packages that include Times of India, Maharashtra Times, Economic Times, and Mumbai Mirror range from \u20b95,000 to \u20b96,500 for the same 5-line advertisement. Classified display ads with a photo carry higher rates. A small 3\u00d75 cm property display advertisement in Mumbai's standard multi-edition combo can cost \u20b916,500 because property falls under one of TOI Mumbai's higher-priced display categories.<\/p>\r\n        <p>Here's the shape of Mumbai property ad pricing in 2026:<\/p>\r\n        <div style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin: 20px 0;\">\r\n            <table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 20px; font-size: 14px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n                <thead>\r\n                    <tr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2; border-bottom: 2px solid #ddd;\">\r\n                        <th style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: bold; color: #1e3a8a;\">Ad Type<\/th>\r\n                        <th style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: bold; color: #1e3a8a;\">Typical Cost<\/th>\r\n                        <th style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: bold; color: #1e3a8a;\">What's Included<\/th>\r\n                    <\/tr>\r\n                <\/thead>\r\n                <tbody>\r\n                    <tr style=\"background-color: #ffffff; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n                        <td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">TOI Mumbai only, 5-line classified text<\/td>\r\n                        <td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">~\u20b94,000<\/td>\r\n                        <td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">Times of India Mumbai edition only<\/td>\r\n                    <\/tr>\r\n                    <tr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n                        <td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">TOI + Sunday Times + Times Property + Economic Times + Mirror<\/td>\r\n                        <td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">~\u20b95,000\/5 lines<\/td>\r\n                        <td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">5-paper combo<\/td>\r\n                    <\/tr>\r\n                    <tr style=\"background-color: #ffffff; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n                        <td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">TOI + Sunday Times + Times Property + Maharashtra Times + Economic Times + Navbharat Times + Mirror<\/td>\r\n                        <td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">~\u20b96,500\/5 lines<\/td>\r\n                        <td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">7-paper combo, widest Mumbai reach<\/td>\r\n                    <\/tr>\r\n                    <tr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n                        <td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">Classified display, property category<\/td>\r\n                        <td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">up to ~\u20b916,500 for 3\u00d75 cm<\/td>\r\n                        <td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">Combo package, photo\/logo included<\/td>\r\n                    <\/tr>\r\n                    <tr style=\"background-color: #ffffff; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n                        <td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">Front page display (premium placement)<\/td>\r\n                        <td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\u20b93,500\u2013\u20b96,000 per sq cm<\/td>\r\n                        <td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">Separate budget conversation; needs lead time<\/td>\r\n                    <\/tr>\r\n                <\/tbody>\r\n            <\/table>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <p>Extra lines after the 5-line minimum carry a per-line charge, so concise copy helps control the cost. Booking through an authorised agency platform can reduce the price by 15\u201350% compared with booking at a newspaper office. The price difference comes from bulk agency rates, not from the advertisement placement or print quality.<\/p>\r\n\r\n        <h2 id=\"sec3\">Which Newspapers Should I Use for a Property Ad in Mumbai?<\/h2>\r\n        <p>Mumbai supports a large number of active daily newspapers. A property advertisement in Mumbai newspaper can appear in more than a dozen mastheads, with the newspaper choice shaped by the buyer profile.<\/p>\r\n        <ul>\r\n            <li><strong>Times of India \/ Times Property<\/strong> \u2014 the default choice for English-speaking buyers across Mumbai, Thane, and Navi Mumbai; its Sunday Times Property supplement is the single most-read property section in the city.<\/li>\r\n            <li><strong>Maharashtra Times<\/strong> \u2014 Marathi-language reach, strong for Mumbai's Marathi-speaking middle-class buyer segment, usually bundled into TOI combo packages.<\/li>\r\n            <li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/riyoadvertising.com\/mumbaimirror.shtml\">Mumbai Mirror<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 younger, urban readership; useful alongside TOI rather than standalone.<\/li>\r\n            <li><strong>Navbharat Times<\/strong> \u2014 Hindi-language reach across Mumbai's large Hindi-speaking population.<\/li>\r\n            <li><strong>Hindustan Times<\/strong> \u2014 a solid English alternative to TOI, particularly for premium listings.<\/li>\r\n            <li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/riyoadvertising.com\/freepressjournal.shtml\">Free Press Journal<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 English daily with strong Mumbai business-district readership.<\/li>\r\n            <li><strong>Loksatta \/ Lokmat \/ Sakal<\/strong> \u2014 Marathi dailies with reach beyond TOI's Marathi bundle, useful for suburban and Tier-2 Maharashtra crossover buyers.<\/li>\r\n            <li><strong>Saamana<\/strong> \u2014 Marathi daily with a distinct, loyal Mumbai readership.<\/li>\r\n            <li><strong>Bombay Samachar<\/strong> \u2014 long-running Gujarati daily, relevant for Mumbai's large Gujarati business community.<\/li>\r\n            <li><strong>Business Standard<\/strong> \u2014 reaches upper-income, investment-focused property buyers specifically.<\/li>\r\n        <\/ul>\r\n        <p>For individual sellers, a TOI combo package covering two or three of these newspapers provides strong reach without the cost of duplicate readership. Builders launching a city-wide project add a Marathi or Gujarati-language newspaper to reach buyer segments that an English-only campaign cannot cover.<\/p>\r\n\r\n        <h2 id=\"sec4\">Which Day Should I Publish a Property Ad in Mumbai?<\/h2>\r\n        <p>Sunday is the strongest day for a Mumbai property ad because the Times Property supplement runs that day and property search activity reaches its peak. Wednesday serves as the second choice and can offer a lower combo rate. A routine weekday places the advertisement among unrelated classifieds and attracts fewer responses for the same cost.<\/p>\r\n        <p>If the budget covers one insertion, Sunday delivers the strongest value. A Wednesday-and-Sunday campaign remains a popular choice. The Wednesday insertion reaches weekday property seekers, and the Sunday insertion reaches the Times Property supplement audience. This combination covers both buyer groups and avoids the cost of daily publication.<\/p>\r\n\r\n        <h2 id=\"sec5\">What Should a Mumbai Property Ad Include?<\/h2>\r\n        <p>Keep the copy concise. Mumbai classifieds contain many competing listings, and each extra line increases the advertising cost.
