Gujarat Samachar Advertisement: Editions, Indicative Rates and How to Book

The short answer

A Gujarat Samachar advertisement reaches Gujarati readers across Gujarat and in Mumbai. You can place a text classified, a boxed classified display ad or a display ad, booked by edition (bookable editions listed by agencies include Ahmedabad, Baroda, Bhavnagar, Mumbai, Rajkot and Surat). One booking agency lists text classifieds from about ₹60 plus ₹6 per word, and classified display ads from a 4 × 5 cm minimum of ₹2,100, plus 5% GST; actual rates depend on edition and category. Book through an authorised agency or the paper’s advertising office, and write the ad in natural Gujarati.
