Why Deccan Chronicle Still Works in 2026

Print advertising is not fighting for attention with digital; it’s garnering a different kind of attention.

The recognised paper of record for Hyderabad and AP.

A gazetted publication, Deccan Chronicle is accepted by courts, government departments, company registrars and banks for statutory compliance in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Your ad is placed next to trusted journalism—whether trust matters or not, for property ads, matrimonial ads, recruitment ads, legal notices, that association is doing real journalism work.

Named supplements mean the right reader, not just more readers.

Sunday Chronicle connects millions of Telugu-speaking families who are actively searching for match, jobs and properties in one go. Rather than general readership, you are purchasing the reader who's already looking.

Every Way to Advertise in Deccan Chronicle

Unlike most classified newspapers, Deccan Chronicle charges fees per sq.cm, not per line for text classified. Decide on the format and then the rate.

Classified Display

Photo, logo, colour, and custom typography in the classified section. Minimum size 4×5 cm (20 sq.cm) — the primary method of booking for the paper.

Best For

Matrimonial · Recruitment · Property · Education · Business · Name Change · Obituary

A picture or bordered ad is more effective than plain text every time.

Display Ads

High visibility beside editorial content throughout the entire paper with position premiums, per sq.cm.

Best For

Brand Campaigns · Real Estate Projects · Government & Corporate · SEBI/Statutory · Tender Notices

Appointment Ads

A form of job posting with a minimum requirement of 8×5 cm, separate from general classified display. Colour ads with logos help build brand awareness.

Best For

Corporate Hiring · Professional Services · Educational Appointments · IT/Pharma Vacancies

Category-focused readers

It's not passive readers who are simply scrolling by, it's active readers who are searching for something; a family reading matrimonial ads in the Sunday Chronicle, a job-seeking reader reading adverts for appointments in the Sunday Times on Wednesday each group reading a portion that suits them, which explains the success of matrimonial, job, property, and statutory notice ads.

Recruitment Advertising

How to Post a Job Ad in Deccan Chronicle

With a high single-day readership on Sunday Chronicle, Deccan Chronicle, one of the leading recruitment platforms in South India, especially Hyderabad and Andhra Pradesh is the top choice for IT, Pharma, Finance and Manufacturing jobs.

What to Put in Your Job Ad

Put the job title first two words, not buried in paragraph three.

Include company name, unless it's a confidential search.

Mention key qualifications and years of experience.

Location — city, hybrid, or remote.

Add a clear salary range — this matters more than anything else.

Finish with one simple application method.

Best time of year to recruit

Post-appraisal (Jan–Mar) and mid-year/academic surge (Jul–Sep) are strongest. Avoid the festive season and summer lull (Oct and May).

Why your job ad isn't getting applications

Common mistakes that reduce response quality

01 Wrong day

Sunday and Wednesday are DC's two recruitment peaks; a random weekday page reaches a general audience, not active job seekers.

02 No salary range

Loses 30–40% of qualified candidates immediately.

03 Wrong edition

A Hyderabad IT role placed in the Chennai edition reaches the wrong city; use AP for statewide reach.

04 Vague job title

"Software Engineer — Hyderabad — ₹8–12L" gets read. "Staff Needed" gets scrolled past.

05 Text-only for senior roles

A colour appointment ad with your company logo outperforms plain text.

06 Only ran once

2–4 insertions over 3–4 weeks beat a single run significantly.

Terms to avoid (legal compliance)

Age limits (use "2–5 years experience"), gender language ("Male only," "Salesman"), appearance references ("fair complexion," "good-looking"), marital status preferences, regional exclusions ("Locals only"), and misleading titles. DC's editorial desk rejects ads containing these — a missed week and a delayed hire.

Dial 9821984000 and share what went wrong and your results. There is no charge for that conversation, we will identify the issue.

Sunday Chronicle · Peak Readership

Deccan Chronicle Matrimonial Ad Guide

Only Sunday is important. Deccan Chronicle publishes the maximum matrimonial advertisements on Sunday as they reach millions of Telugu speaking families in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh and also have an outreach in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala. For the best results, book 2–4 consecutive Sundays as this will maximize response and the Book 2 Get 2 Free offer is double your purchase.

Hyderabad	₹1,660	₹1,895
Chennai	₹385	₹430
Bangalore	₹385	₹430

The majority of advertisers opt for classified display; an ad with a picture or border will draw much more attention and response than an ad just with text. Writing tip: Community → age → education → profession — the sequence Telugu matrimonial readers scan.

Booking & Authorisation

Booking process and publication support

How do I book a Deccan Chronicle advertisement? +

Is Riyo Advertising an authorised DC booking partner? +

Riyo Advertising is an authorised booking partner for Deccan Chronicle. Our team can confirm the current publication, edition and applicable agency rate before you book.

Does my DC print ad appear online too? +

E-paper and online availability can depend on the Deccan Chronicle edition, advertisement category and publication policy. If digital or e-paper visibility is important, mention it when booking so the applicable availability can be confirmed.

₹

Rates & Budget

DC advertising costs and packages

What are Deccan Chronicle classified ad rates in Andhra Pradesh in 2026? +

Indicative classified display rates are ₹1,895 (B&W) / ₹2,160 (Colour) for Andhra Pradesh, ₹1,660 / ₹1,895 for Hyderabad, and ₹385 / ₹430 for Chennai and Bangalore — all per sq.cm. Classified text is charged differently. Final rates depend on category, size and publication date.

What is the cheapest way to advertise in Deccan Chronicle? +

Classified display is the primary format. Chennai and Bangalore editions are priced at ₹385/sq.cm — about 5 times less than Andhra Pradesh. For budget-conscious campaigns, consider these editions. Multi-city bundles (3+ editions) offer up to 15% off.

What does a Deccan Chronicle front page ad cost? +

Front-page advertising is premium inventory. ₹10,765/sq.cm for colour (AP/Hyderabad). The final price depends on edition, size, position, publication date and availability. Front and back page bookings need 5–7 days' advance notice.

Can I advertise in multiple cities or newspapers in one booking? +

Yes. You can book all 5 Deccan Chronicle editions (Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore, Kerala) together. Multi-city bundles of 3+ editions get up to 15% off. Multi-publication campaigns can also be coordinated through the same booking desk.

What's the minimum budget to advertise in Deccan Chronicle? +

There is no single minimum budget. Minimum size is 4×5 cm (20 sq.cm). At Chennai/Bangalore ₹385/sq.cm, a minimum ad costs approximately ₹7,700 . Share your city and budget and we can suggest suitable booking options.

Content, Proof & Corrections

Preparing and checking your advertisement

Can I edit my advertisement after submitting it? +

Changes may be possible before the newspaper's final submission or production cutoff. After publication, the printed advertisement cannot be changed. We share a proof before submission, so carefully check names, phone numbers, dates, addresses and other details before approval. If you've noticed a mistake in your approval, call right away — corrections are possible before the press run, never after it.

What is the best day to book a DC matrimonial ad? +

Sunday is the only day that matters. Deccan Chronicle publishes the maximum matrimonial advertisements on Sunday as they reach millions of Telugu-speaking families. Book 2–4 consecutive Sundays for best results. Book 2 Get 2 Free offer effectively doubles your purchase.

What is required for a name change or lost document notice in DC? +

For name change, a notarised affidavit reference is mandatory — Deccan Chronicle requires a scanned copy before acceptance. For lost documents, include the document type, full name, location lost, date and FIR number if applicable. We can help format both.

Deadlines & Publication

Same-day bookings and publication turnaround

Can I book a Deccan Chronicle ad on the same day? +

Same-day publication may be possible for obituary and urgent legal notices when content is submitted before 12 PM. For urgent bookings, call 9821984000 directly so availability can be checked immediately.

What is the Deccan Chronicle obituary ad rate? +

A concessional social rate is available for obituary notices. Minimum size is 4×5 cm (20 sq.cm). Call 9821984000 for the current figure as rates vary by edition and are below standard classified display.
