In a remarkable achievement, Moneycontrol, India’s premier digital financial platform, has surpassed 10 crore (100 million) unique visitors in October 2024, solidifying its status as the country’s leading source for business news and financial insights. The data, reported by global digital measurement agency Comscore, underscores Moneycontrol’s robust growth and user engagement in a competitive digital landscape.
Growing Audience
This milestone comes as Moneycontrol’s audience was reported to be 31% larger than that of its closest competitor, The Economic Times, as of September 2024. The surge in unique visitors highlights the platform’s ability to cater to the evolving needs of investors, providing critical information and tools for financial decision-making.
"Achieving more than 10 crore unique visitors in a single month is not just a number; it is a testament to the trust and reliance our users place in our platform," remarked Nalin Mehta, Managing Editor of Moneycontrol. This overwhelming user engagement reflects a strong vote of confidence in Moneycontrol’s ability to deliver invaluable content to retail investors.
Enhancing User Experience
Moneycontrol distinguishes itself through a comprehensive offering that includes real-time stock market data, informed financial tools, and exclusive research on trends impacting market dynamics. The platform’s user-centric approach has seen continuous enhancements, notably through the premium subscription service, Moneycontrol Pro, which recently celebrated its own milestone of surpassing 1 million subscribers. This positions Moneycontrol as the largest digital news subscription platform in India and among the top 15 worldwide.
The Moneycontrol app, currently enjoying over 70 lakh (7 million) active users each month, has become an essential tool for anyone interested in financial markets, further bolstered by innovative features rolled out regularly.
Leadership Insights
Adil Zainulbhai, Chairman of Network 18, which operates Moneycontrol, articulated the significance of this achievement, stating, "This is a monumental milestone, and Moneycontrol has broken the ceiling as India’s premier digital finance platform. The growth in our audience reflects high consumer confidence in our cutting-edge market data tools and content."
The platform not only engaged a vast number of users but also recorded almost 40% more page views than The Economic Times in September, according to Comscore. Furthermore, Moneycontrol leads the sector in time spent on site, with users engaging for an impressive total of 407.48 million minutes during that month.

In addition to its prominent news offerings, Moneycontrol is expanding its influence in the fintech sector.
