Print Advertising

Why Lokmat Times Still Works in 2026

Print advertising is not playing in the game of digital for attention; it's playing another one altogether.

Print advertising

Nobody skips a print ad.

Without being blocked, a digital ad will receive a second look for 2 seconds between notifications. A Lokmat Times reader is a real-time reader of the newspaper — your newspaper ad is already a part of what they are reading.

Maharashtra's largest media group, in English.

The English daily of Maharashtra's biggest media house, Lokmat Group, with an English-speaking population of 12 lakh+ readers in the state. Local pull-outs mean the right reader in the right city.

Recruitment, property, matrimonial

The people reading it are scouring it, not merely skimming it: people in professional families who are reading the matrimonial columns, people at the PSU and industrial offices who are reading the Situation Vacant column, and people who are buying properties who are reading the weekend listings; hence, the steady success of matrimonial, recruitment, and property columns. Vidarbha and Marathwada are the areas with high trust in PSU, educational, and industrial recruitment.

Recruitment Advertising

How to Post a Job Ad in Lokmat Times

Lokmat Times caters to English-speaking professionals in Nagpur, Aurangabad, and Nashik who rely on the Situation Vacant column.

What to Put in Your Job Ad

Job title first two words, not buried in paragraph three.

Company name, unless it's a confidential search.

Key credentials and experience required.

Location — city, hybrid, or remote, be specific.

Salary range — this matters more than anything else.

How to apply.

Hiring intent seasonality

High — Jan–Mar (Post-Appraisal): Highest job-switch intent period.

High — Jul–Sep (Mid-Year Surge): Mid-year hiring surge; academic-year appointments.

Avoid — Oct (Diwali) & May (Slowdowns): Festive slowdowns and summer lulls reduce responses.

Why your Lokmat Times job ad isn't getting applications

Common mistakes that reduce response quality

01 Wrong day

Mid-week reach is general. Request Friday or Sunday insertions.

02 No salary range

Loses 30–40% of candidates immediately in Central Maharashtra.

03 Wrong edition

A Nashik vacancy booked in the Nagpur edition reaches the wrong city.

04 Vague job title

"Accounts Manager — Nagpur — ₹7–10L" gets read; "Staff Needed" is ignored.

05 Only ran once

2–4 insertions over 3–4 weeks generate significantly more responses.

Legal compliance checklist

Lokmat Times' editorial team reviews ads before publication — rejections occur for age limits (use "2–5 years experience"), gender language ("Male only," "Salesman"), appearance references ("fair complexion," "good-looking"), regional exclusions ("Locals only"), and misleading titles (dressing up sales as "executive").

Lokmat Times Advertising

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Lokmat Times ad rates, booking, deadlines, corrections and publication.

Booking & Authorisation

Booking process and publication support

₹

Rates & Budget

Lokmat Times advertising costs and packages

What are Lokmat Times classified ad rates in Nagpur in 2026? +

Classified text runs ₹1,100–₹1,450 for 5 lines (matrimonial, recruitment), ₹1,050 (property), and ₹900 (obituary). Classified display ads are available with a minimum of 3x5 cm, and the rates start at ₹210/sq.cm for obituary and ₹500/sq.cm for recruitment.

What is the cheapest way to advertise in Lokmat Times? +

The smallest classified display ad size is 3×5 cm with a minimum price of ₹1,950 (Nagpur base), and the smallest classified text ad size is 5 lines with a minimum price of ₹900.

Why do salary ranges matter so much in job ads? +

Before taking a look at anything else, candidates narrow down their choices in Central Maharashtra's job market by salary. If there's no range, you're giving up 30-40% of qualified candidates up front.

Timing & Placement

Best days, supplements and statutory validity

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

The highest number of people reading matrimonial columns in Vidarbha and Marathwada this week is on Sunday — Sunday Lokmat Times. Book by Friday, 5 PM.

Which editions does Lokmat Times publish, and which one should I choose? +

Three Divisions – Nagpur (Vidarbha reach), Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar/Aurangabad (Marathwada reach), and Nashik (North Maharashtra reach). The city edition match doesn't match your target area; a Nashik vacancy booked in the Nagpur edition reaches the wrong audience.

Urgent Assistance

Same-day bookings and post-approval changes

What is the Lokmat Times obituary ad rate? +

Nagpur base: A 3×5 cm black and white display is priced from ₹3,150. The price of text ads begins at ₹900 per unit of 5 lines. Same-day release is possible; call before 12 PM.

Can I book a Lokmat Times ad on the same day? +

Yes – call 9821984000 before 12 PM for obituaries and urgent statutory notices.
