How to Book

How to book an ad in Lokmat Kolhapur

Three things used to be hard — decide the rate, draft the ad, confirm the booking. Here's how each works with Riyo Advertising.

PHASE 01
Decide the rate.
Used to need an agent quoting a number you couldn't verify.
Call or WhatsApp 9821984000 with your category, city, and date. We quote the exact rate from the official card — 15–35% below counter — and recommend the right format and supplement on the same call. First booking 5% off · repeat 10% · multi-edition combos up to 15%.
PHASE 02
Draft the ad.
Used to mean a faxed proof, a phone call, a re-fax.
Send a rough draft — even two lines on WhatsApp or email (info@riyoadvertising.com). We write, format, and design it free, add any enhancements worth the money, and send you a proof of the ad exactly as it will print. Nothing goes to the newspaper without your approval.
PHASE 03
Release it.
Used to need a trip to a newspaper office.
Pay by UPI, NEFT, card, or cheque — instant confirmation with an ad reference number and GST invoice. We handle Lokmat's editorial desk, your ad prints on the date you chose, and the tearsheet PDF lands in your email as legal proof of publication.

Advertising in Lokmat Kolhapur, Marathi Newspaper

One of India's most-read Marathi dailies — in one minute.

Founded in 1971, Lokmat is the Marathi daily advertisers in Maharashtra ask for by name. It prints from 11 city editions with 10 themed supplements, and the Kolhapur edition carries a certified circulation of 1,42,858 copies (Audit Bureau of Circulations) across Kolhapur, Sangli, Satara, Karad, and Ichalkaranji.

For matrimonial, property, recruitment and public notices in Maharashtra, the newspaper isn't optional — it's the medium the response actually comes from.

— The Riyo Advertising desk · Updated for the 2026 rate revision
