The Indian Express group has long been recognised as a significant participant in Indian English-language journalism. The flagship newspaper, The Indian Express, was founded in 1932 by P. Varadarajulu Naidu and was subsequently acquired and built up by Ramnath Goenka, who shaped it into a national publication. Over the decades, the group expanded its operations across multiple Indian cities, with editions printed in several states.
Following the death of Ramnath Goenka in 1991, the group was eventually divided among his heirs. The northern editions came to be operated under The Indian Express masthead, while the southern editions were reorganised under The New Indian Express. Indian Express Limited is one of the corporate entities associated with the group's publishing activities.
The company's activities centre on the production and distribution of newspapers and related editorial content. The Indian Express group is known for its investigative journalism, business coverage through The Financial Express, and Hindi-language reporting through Jansatta.
As part of the Indian Express group, the company contributes to one of India's longstanding traditions of independent English-language reporting. The group's reportage during the Emergency period (1975–1977) is widely cited in studies of press freedom in India, and its later investigative work has continued to influence public discourse.
