History
The Times of India was founded on
November 3,
1838 as
The Bombay Times and Journal of Commerce, and served the
British colonists of
western India. It adopted its present name in 1861. Published every Saturday and Wednesday,
The Bombay Times and Journal of Commerce was launched as a bi-weekly edition. It contained news from
Europe,
the Americas, and the
Subcontinent, and was conveyed between India and Europe via regular steamships. The daily editions of the paper were started from 1850 and by 1861, the
Bombay Times was renamed
The Times of India. In the 19th century this newspaper company employed more than 800 people and had a sizable circulation in India and Europe. Originally British-owned and controlled, its last British editor was Ivor S. Jehu, who resigned the editorship in 1950. It was after
India's
Independence that the ownership of the paper passed on to the then famous industrial family of Dalmiyas and later it was taken over by
Sahu Shanti Prasad Jain of the
Sahu Jain group from
Bijnore,
UP.
The
Times of India is published by the
media group Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd. This company, along with its other group companies, known as The Times Group, also publishes
The Economic Times,
