Wall Street Journal begins printing in India

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) this week began printing in India and will be available to individual and corporate subscribers, as well as newsstands in major Indian cities.

Following the Indian government's decision to allow foreign investment in the publication of foreign newspapers earlier this year, WSJ owner Dow Jones & Company announced plans to launch into India.

The Wall Street Journal Asia edition will be printed by The Express Group, which publishes and prints 35 national newspapers, and seven regional titles, at print sites in New Delhi and Mumbai.

Todd Larsen, chief operating officer, Dow Jones Consumer Media Group, said: "This latest investment in our brand is part of Dow Jones’s commitment to growing our business in India and across Asia at a time when a number of media owners are retrenching."
