Times Network crosses 100M users online: Comscore
Mumbai: Times Network has emerged as India’s top digital news publisher, amassing 104 million monthly unique users across platforms, according to Comscore’s August 2024 report. This remarkable achievement highlights the network’s impressive 168 per cent growth since February 2024, outpacing competitors like NDTV (99 million), ABP Network (89 million), Jagran (86 million), and Indian Express (77 million). Times Network’s commitment to delivering innovative, digital-first content formats has cemented its leadership in both the general and business news segments.
This surge was driven by the Network’s flagship digital brands—TimesNow.in, ETNow.in, TimesNowNavbharat.in, Zoomtv.com, and Digit.in—which offer users a personalised experience through live interactive segments, consumer-centric explainers, and cutting-edge content powered by AI and AR. The recent acquisition of tech platform Digit.in played a key role in this growth, delivering a 160 per cent increase in just three months.
Times Network has also expanded into regional languages, including Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, and Bangla, to meet the growing demand for localised content. Further expansion into languages like Malayalam and Kannada is expected soon. Additionally, the launch of TimesDrive.in (auto news) and HealthandMe.com (health and wellness) showcases the Network’s ongoing diversification into key verticals.
Speaking on the occasion, a spokesperson from Times Network said: “Our digital-first initiatives and commitment to high-quality journalism have fueled our rapid growth, helping us surpass legacy players in the market. With 104 million unique users and counting, we are proud to lead India’s digital news revolution.”
The network’s growth reflects its commitment to meeting the evolving interests of its audience across industries while maintaining a steadfast focus on audience engagement and quality journalism. Earlier this year, Times Network became the fastest-growing digital video news network in the country, with over 4 billion monthly views across its channels.
