Deccan Chronicle is an English-language daily newspaper based in Hyderabad, India. Founded in 1938, it was initially launched as a weekly and later converted into a daily. The newspaper's name reflects its origins in the Deccan region of India. Deccan Chronicle is owned by Samagrah Commercial Pvt Limited and published by Deccan Chronicle Holdings Limited (DCHL).[2]

Deccan Chronicle has historically been one of the largest and most influential English dailies in the region, with editions in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Chennai, and Bengaluru.[3] The newspaper's circulation peaked in the mid-2000s, making it one of India's top English newspapers. Despite facing financial challenges, including significant debt and the impact of digital media, Deccan Chronicle remains an important publication, primarily serving readers in the southern states of India.[4]

In addition to Deccan Chronicle, DCHL also publishes Financial Chronicle, a financial newspaper, and The Asian Age, an English-language daily.[5] Additionally, it published the Telugu daily Andhra Bhoomi from 1960 until 2020.[6]
