Business: IHTribune biz section inside the Financial Chronicle

Paris (BUSINESS WIRE) - The International Herald Tribune (IHT) announced today that it will expand in India with the launch of a branded world business section inside the Financial Chronicle, the new Indian business paper from the Deccan Chronicle Group. The IHT's section will debut with the Financial Chronicle's Mumbai edition launch on June 20.

The IHT logo will feature prominently on the front page and inside there will be a daily four-page version of its World Business with Reuters section, giving Financial Chronicle readers daily news and analysis on what is happening in companies and deals and in the financial markets around the world. This latest development for the IHT builds on recent expansion of its circulation in New Delhi and Mumbai where the paper is now available early each morning.
