+ Extra Line Rate × (Line Count − included lines), The Hindu bills by line count directly
+ Colour Charge, if selected
The included allowance is The Hindu's own real figure, the same one the actual checkout uses -- not a generic estimate. GST is calculated separately at checkout, and any live offers are applied there too. This estimate isn't yet wired to the same unified pricing engine the checkout uses -- that consolidation is a separate initiative.

This page covers 13 ad categories bookable through The Hindu in Chennai, priced individually rather than as one blended rate. Rates start from ₹528 for the least expensive listing here, rising by category and ad size from that floor. Every figure shown reflects the current live rate card, not a historical or estimated price.
This edition is part of Tamil Nadu -- often booked alongside The Hindu's other editions in the same state rather than on its own. Language matters as much as price here: readers are reached in English, not necessarily every language spoken locally.
Categories currently live here include Property for Sale, Property for Rent, Recruitment, Name Change, Business, Services and 7 more -- pricing differs by category, so comparisons are category-to-category rather than paper-to-paper alone. Circulation here runs to about 372,882 copies, per the publisher's own reporting. Full category-by-category pricing is laid out further down this page for a single-scan comparison.
Booking follows the same flow as anywhere on Book4Ad: pick a category, review the rate, write or generate the ad copy, choose a publishing date, and pay online with a GST invoice on confirmation. Deadlines vary by category and are shown against each specific listing -- booking a little earlier keeps the widest choice of publishing dates open. Use the estimate tool for budgeting; the booking flow applies any active offers to arrive at the final figure.
The advantage of booking here rather than through a direct newspaper contact is having pricing, comparison and checkout all in one place, with a GST invoice generated automatically. Beyond a single booking, this edition is also available in 6 combo packages for wider-reach campaigns. This isn't the only option nearby -- 6 other editions in the same state are also on file. A comparison against other Chennai newspapers is included on this page, since the cheapest option isn't always the best fit for every category.
Rates start from ₹528 on this rate card, the lowest listed category and size. The exact cost depends on category, ad size and colour.
13 categories are currently bookable in The Hindu's Chennai edition, each shown on this page with its own rate.
Deadlines vary by category and publishing date. For urgent bookings, WhatsApp or call support can confirm the fastest available publishing date for the category you need.
The Hindu's Chennai edition is published in English.
Rates on this card are the newspaper's base advertising rate; GST is added at checkout and shown separately before payment, along with a GST invoice issued on confirmation.
That depends on the category's specific deadline, checked automatically during booking. For urgent same-day or next-day publishing, WhatsApp or call support can confirm what's still possible.
Each category's base rate covers a minimum number of lines; additional lines beyond that are charged at the category's extra-line rate, both shown in the pricing table on this page.
Where a category supports it, a colour charge (flat or percentage, shown per category) can be added -- the calculator on this page includes it in the estimate.
