What is the DH Spectrum Sunday Premium and why does it matter?

DH Spectrum is the Deccan Herald's top Sunday supplement, boasting the biggest readership in their network. Folks tend to devote way more time with the Sunday paper compared to other days, leading to ad exposure for longer periods. Due to this, DH Spectrum charges a premium—between 20 to 35% more than weekday rates. That's around INR 2,500 to INR 4,500 per square cm in Bangalore.

What is the DH front page display ad minimum size and cost?

For a DH front page display ad, you need at least 12 cm by 20 cm, which is 240 square cm. At Bangalore's rates, that costs between INR 6,000 and INR 12,000 per square cm. So, the total price is roughly INR 14.4 lakhs to INR 28.8 lakhs. Plus, front page spots are super popular, especially around Kannada Rajyotsava, Dasara, Ugadi, and Diwali. Because of that, you gotta book your slot 5 to 7 days early.

What is the DH Metro supplement?

Frequently Asked Questions — DH Display Ad Rates

Is DH Spectrum worth the 20–35% Sunday premium? ▼

Absolutely, for the majority of brands and consumers. Readers spend way more time – 3 to 4 times as much – on Sunday content. This boosts response rates and brand recall for things like matrimonial ads, real estate listings, lifestyle sections, and high-end brand campaigns.

How much does a full page DH Bangalore ad cost in 2026? ▼

A full page Deccan Herald Bangalore display ad starts from approximately INR 55 Lakhs. Contact Riyo Advertising for the confirmed 2026 full page rate card.

What is the difference between DH inner page and DH Spectrum placement? ▼

the inner page weekdays go for INR 1,500–3,000 per square cm. In contrast, DH Spectrum on Sundays is INR 2,500–4,500 per square cm. The Spectrum section hooks in far more readers with its longer lifespan and engaged audience, all for that slight premium.

Can I book DH display ads in multiple Karnataka city editions together? ▼

Sure, you can book DH display ads in multiple Karnataka city editions together and get bundle discounts of up to 15%.

When should I book DH display ads for Kannada Rajyotsava (November 1)? ▼
