Malik Advertising books classified text, classified display, and display advertisements in Deccan Chronicle across all editions — Telangana HC & AP HC Legal Notices, Hyderabad IT Recruitment, TSGENCO/HMDA Government Tenders, RERA Property, English Matrimonial — with same-day confirmation and discounted publisher rates.
Deccan Chronicle has been Hyderabad's primary English newspaper since 1938 — over 85 years as the city of Nizams' English newspaper of record. Its deep integration into Hyderabad's IT corridor, legal community and government establishment makes it the default English paper for Telangana.
Accepted by both the Telangana High Court (Hyderabad) and the Andhra Pradesh High Court for English statutory publications — uniquely enabling advertisers who need HC compliance across both Telugu states in a single English paper.
Deccan Chronicle's Hyderabad edition penetrates the HITEC City, Gachibowli, Madhapur, Kondapur and Cyberabad corridors — where Microsoft, Google, Amazon, TCS, Infosys and Wipro have major campuses serving India's second-largest IT city.
Editions in Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Chennai and Bangalore give Deccan Chronicle cross-state English reach across Telangana, AP, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka — no other Telugu-origin English newspaper replicates this South India footprint.
What Is Deccan Chronicle?
Deccan Chronicle is Hyderabad's largest English daily, published since 1938 by Deccan Chronicle Holdings Ltd. — over 85 years as Hyderabad's English newspaper of record. Following the 2014 bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh into Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, Deccan Chronicle is the only English daily with strong institutional presence across both Telugu states — accepted by both the Telangana High Court and the Andhra Pradesh High Court for English statutory publications. This dual-HC acceptance makes it uniquely valuable for companies and law firms with statutory obligations across both Telangana and AP.
Deccan Chronicle's Hyderabad edition is the standard English newspaper for HITEC City's IT professional community — the Google, Microsoft, Amazon, TCS, Infosys and Wipro campuses of India's second-largest IT city. TSGENCO, TSTRANSCO, GHMC, HMDA and Telangana government departments use it for English statutory statutory tenders and public notices. Malik Advertising books all formats and editions at discounted rates with same-day booking capability for urgent statutory filings.
💡 Dual-state Telugu strategy: For complete bilingual statutory compliance across both Telugu states — Deccan Chronicle (English, both HCs) paired with Sakshi or Eenadu (Telugu) in a single coordinated order.
