About Times of India
The Times of India is owned and published by Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd. (BCCL), also known as The Times Group, which is controlled by the Sahu Jain family. The Times Group is India's largest media and entertainment conglomerate with diverse business interests beyond news, including movies, music, and real estate.
Media Bias/Fact Check rates The Times of India as Right-Center biased, noting its reporting and story selection often favor the right-leaning ruling party and exhibit a pro-Narendra Modi tone. The outlet has faced significant criticism for engaging in 'paid news' and 'private treaties,' where positive coverage is exchanged for financial benefits or shares, raising concerns about journalistic integrity and conflicts of interest. Critics also point to a tendency towards sensationalism and a lack of in-depth analysis. India's press freedom environment is challenging, with Reporters Without Borders ranking the country 157th out of 180 in 2026, citing concentrated media ownership and overt political alignment among outlets.
