Mint is an Indian business and financial daily newspaper published by HT Media, a Delhi-based media group which is controlled by the K. K. Birla family. The K. K. Birla family also publishes Hindustan Times.[2] Mint has been running since 2007 and specializes in business and politics.[3]

It publishes a single national edition distributed in New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, Ahmedabad and Chandigarh. Unlike most mainstream newspapers from India, Mint is not published on Sunday. Every Saturday, it prints its sister magazine, Mint Lounge. It was India's first newspaper to be published in the Berliner format.[4][5] The former editor of the Wall Street Journal India, Raju Narisetti ran Mint from its founding in 2007 to 2008.[6] Narisetti was succeeded by Sukumar Ranganathan, who served as an editor until 2017.[7]

In 2014, Mint and the Journal ended their seven-year editorial partnership.[8] The companies now have a content syndication agreement as well as a subscriptions bundle. In 2017, former editor of Khaleej Times Vinay R. Kamat was appointed as Editor, replacing Sukumar Ranganathan.[9][10] In November 2020, Sruthijith Kurupichankandy, better known as SK, was appointed Editor-in-chief.[11]
