British media group Daily Mail & General Trust has entered into a partnership with the India Today Group to publish English-language newspapers in India.

"It's a growing part of the world and newspapers are struggling in certain parts of the world and in India they are growing,” said Peter Williams, chief financial officer of Daily Mail & General Trust.

India Today is looking to utilize Daily Mail’s knowledge to publish mainline newspapers. The partnership echoes that of the Wall Street Journal and HT Media Ltd. of India in publishing Mint magazine.
