History
Loksatta was established on 14 January 1948, coinciding with Makar Sankranti. Loksatta gained notability through its coverage of Mahatma Gandhi's assassination and subsequent developments; the founder of the Indian Express Group, Ramnath Goenka, remained dedicated to Loksatta.
After remaining the largest circulated standard Marathi daily for many years, by the late-90s Loksatta saw competition from newer daily newspapers like Maharashtra Times. By 1997, it only circulated around 400,000 daily papers in Mumbai, Pune, Ahmednagar and Nagpur combined.
However, circulation increased in the 2000s after changes which included addition of various supplements and adding several new city editions for local news.
