Moneycontrol has said it has strengthened its leadership position in India’s business and financial news segment, recording the highest number of unique visitors in January 2026 as per data released by global audience measurement agency Comscore.

The latest rankings show that Moneycontrol, according to a press statement from the company, registered a total digital population of 63.38 million unique visitors, drawing more than twice the audience of The Economic Times, which recorded 30.61 million users during the same period.

The data also indicates that Moneycontrol attracted more unique users than its next two competitors combined in the business news category, underlining its strong presence in the digital financial information space.

Moneycontrol’s lead extended across key digital engagement metrics as well. According to Comscore’s January data, the platform generated 249.25 million page views, nearly three times higher than The Economic Times’ 97.18 million page views, reflecting strong user interaction across its content offerings.

The gap widened further in terms of reader engagement measured by time spent. Users spent 581.29 million minutes on Moneycontrol during the month, significantly higher than the 111.90 million minutes recorded by The Economic Times, pointing to deeper audience engagement and sustained user interest in the platform’s coverage.

Commenting on the development, Nalin Mehta, Managing Editor of Moneycontrol, said the figures reflect readers’ confidence in the platform’s content quality and analytical depth. He noted that in an increasingly fluid global environment, readers are seeking clarity and reliable information, adding that the platform remains focused on delivering credible, accurate and timely business insights along with comprehensive coverage of stock markets and analytical tools.
