When it comes to advertising with Mumbai Mirror, the price varies by colour, position, size and edition. Mumbai Mirror ad rates begin from as low as ₹250 and go up to as high as ₹15 Lakhs, based on the format, size and placement of your advertisement.
All rates are per square centimetre, and the cost of the advertisement is determined by the product of width × height (in centimetre) × per-sq-cm rate. The Front Page, Back Page and Page 3 ad positions command a premium rate (₹3,490, ₹2,830 and ₹2,350 per sq cm respectively), as these are the positions that attract the most eye-balls, and result in highest retention rates.
Classified ads are charged a minimum of ₹1,600 for a 5-line text ad, plus ₹320 for each line. An additional 20% colour premium is charged for colour classified ads. Classified Display Ads - you can add borders, logos and design - cost ₹350 per sq cm, and have a far greater visual impact than text-only ads, at a rate much lower than the main display section.
To place your advertisement, please provide your details in the booking form on this page, or email info@riyoadvertising.com or call us at 9821984000. We will give you a confirmed quote.
The Mumbai Mirror occupies a unique place in Mumbai's media ecosystem, beyond its readership. As a small city-focused newspaper, its editorial content is highly targeted to the needs, interests and commercial actions of the Mumbai city audience: un-diluted by the national reach of a broadsheet.
Its status as a city crusader and city cheerleader has created a highly engaged readership that pays more attention, and with more intention, to the newspaper's content (and the advertising within it) than the readership of a broadsheet publication. The 95% NCCS AB readership composition ensures that advertisers are targeting a readership with the disposable income, commercial sensibilities and purchasing power to respond to the advertising messages we present.
With a daily print run of around 700,000 copies and a total Mumbai readership greater than that of the Hindustan Times, Mumbai Mirror maximises your return on investment in advertising. Each ad is targeted at the specific geographic and demographic audience that matters most for Mumbai-based businesses, recruiters, real estate developers, schools and colleges, and brands.
The classified section of Mumbai Mirror is one of the most successful in the Mumbai newspaper industry. Mumbai Mirror's designated category advertorial days (Matrimonial ads every Sunday, Recruitment ads every Wednesday, Global Jobs/Overseas Appointment ads every Wednesday and Sunday) make it a highly responsive, category-focused classified advertising market that provides category-specific audiences on a fixed calendar, allowing advertisers to plan their campaigns to hit the category high response days.

Mumbai Mirror's publication schedule for different categories of advertisements helps advertisers choose the best day to reach the target audience. In the case of job and appointment ads, Wednesdays are the main day for publication, with Global Jobs and Overseas Appointment ads published every Sunday. For matrimonial ads, every Sunday is the ideal placement day to reach readers on their longer reading time on weekends. For property, display, retail and public notice ads, any day of the week will work, with Saturdays and Sundays best recommended for property buy/sale ads due to the concentration of property advertisers and readers during the weekend.
For further information on the best day for your advertisement category, please call our team on 9821984000. Our media specialists will advise you on the best day for your campaign.
Placing your Mumbai Mirror advertisement through Riyo Advertising is fast, supported and transparent - whether you're a layman looking to place a first-classified advertisement or a marketer seeking to manage a multi-insertion campaign.

Advertising in Mumbai Mirror with Riyo Advertising gives you access to special discounts and packages, which are not otherwise available when you book directly with the newspaper. Given our large-scale inventory management across Mumbai's newspaper industry, we are able to pass on these strategic discounts to clients.
To determine the particular discount package that offers the best return on your Mumbai Mirror advertising dollar in 2026, consult a Riyo consultant on 9821984000.
Given that 95% of its readers are from the NCCS AB demographic - the urban Indian segment with the highest average household income, highest levels of education, and highest consumption potential - Mumbai Mirror provides advertisers with an extremely concentrated focus on Mumbai's most significant commercial audience. So for luxury consumer brands, financial services, real estate, luxury services and premium education, this means an increase in the quality of leads and the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
When you advertise in a national newspaper, a large part of your advertising spend goes to reach consumers in cities, states and regions that have no relevance to your business. Mumbai Mirror's Mumbai-only focus means that you're spending your advertising budget specifically to reach the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, making it one of the most efficient newspaper placements for Mumbai-based advertisers.
Mumbai Mirror is the second-largest newspaper in Mumbai in terms of circulation (around 700,000 copies per day) and also has a larger readership than the Mumbai edition of the Hindustan Times. This scale and concentration of audience is unique to Mumbai.
Mumbai Mirror's smaller newspaper size leads to greater reader engagement. Compact newspaper readers have been found to be more involved with advertising than broadsheet newspaper readers - the smaller page size means that, relative to larger papers, the same size/volume advertisement occupies a greater relative space in the reader's attention.
Mumbai Mirror's advertising options span the gamut from a ₹1,600 five-line classified text listing to a full-page display at the start of the book - and therefore equally suited to a private citizen advertising a name change, as to a multinational corporation promoting a new product in the Mumbai market.
Riyo Advertising is a leading national media planning and buying agency with offices in Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai and New Delhi. Our industry-leading relationships with Mumbai Mirror Group, Mumbai Mirror Group and other national publishers ensure that we can access special discounted rates, bundled deals, and added value offers that are not accessible to individual advertisers or in-house marketers.
Our full-service model includes the entire advertising cycle: expert advice on rate cards, timing, and day of the week to publish; assistance with ad design and layout to ensure your creatives are eye-catching; handling of deadlines and payment; and instant delivery of soft-copy tearsheets once the ads are published - critical for public notice ads, statutory compliance documents, and legal documentation.
If you have same-day and next-day insertions to publish - such as name change advertisements, insolvency notices, legal notices, share loss notices, and tenders - Riyo Advertising provides dedicated same-day and next-day booking services to ensure your insertion is published on time and avoid any repercussions from a delayed statutory notice.
If your target audience includes not just Mumbai Mirror, but also other newspapers, such as the Times of India, Bombay Times, Mid-Day, Maharashtra Times and other regional and national newspapers, Riyo Advertising becomes your centralised media desk - handling multi-newspaper campaigns across India with a single point of contact and removing the confusion of managing multiple media sales representatives.
