Times Network has marked a significant milestone in its digital journey by crossing 228 million monthly unique users across its digital platforms, emerging as India’s third-largest digital news publisher. The achievement, based on Comscore MMX data for November 2025, underlines the network’s growing scale and relevance among digital-first audiences across the country.

According to a press release from the news network, the milestone reflects Times Network’s rapid acceleration in India’s highly competitive digital news ecosystem. The network recorded an exceptional year-on-year growth of over 148 per cent at an overall level, moving well beyond its earlier 100-million monthly users benchmark and reinforcing its position alongside the country’s largest digital media groups.

The growth has been powered by strong performances across Times Network’s flagship digital brands. TimesNow.in registered a 75 per cent year-on-year rise, while TimesNowNavbharat.com grew by 61 per cent and ETNow.in clocked a 70 per cent increase. Digital-first platforms also delivered standout gains with Zoom recording an exponential 42-times growth, TimesDrive.in expanding by 247 per cent and Digit.in growing by 121 per cent year-on-year. Together, these platforms contributed to the network’s robust Comscore ranking, the network said in the press release.

The sustained growth has been driven by a clear focus on impactful journalism, innovation-led expansion, immersive storytelling and multilingual reach. By creating platform-native formats across business, general news, regional news, automobiles and lifestyle, Times Network has steadily built strong engagement among mobile and desktop users alike.

With a rapidly expanding digital footprint and rising social traction, the network continues to redefine how news is discovered and consumed in India. Its performance underscores increasing audience trust in Times Network’s digital properties at a time when competition among legacy and digital-first publishers is intensifying.
