What is the NBT classified ad rate structure?
Navbharat Times uses a 4-column classified rate card — the same structure as Economic Times and Business Standard — making it easy to calculate costs for any ad length.
| Column | Description | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Min Line | Minimum lines required | Lowest entry point for classified text |
| 5 Line Rate (INR) | Package cost for 5-line ad | Most common classified text entry point |
| Extra Line Rate (INR) | Cost per additional line | Add lines above minimum at this rate |
| Classified Display Rate | Per sq cm | Visual format with logo and design |
Pricing Formula
For 5-line minimum: Pay the 5-Line Rate
For ads above 5 lines: 5-Line Rate + (extra lines × Extra Line Rate)
Example — 5-line ad:
Total = 5-Line Rate (direct)
Example — 8-line ad:
Total = 5-Line Rate + (3 × Extra Line Rate)
