Dow Jones facilitated the launch through a partnership with The Express Group, which prints The Wall Street Journal in New Delhi and Mumbai. The initiative follows the February launch of the India.WSJ.com homepage and its mobile reader.
The initiative extends the Wall Street Journal’s presence in Asia, as it comes weeks after the Journal announced its plans to launch a Japanese-language version of its website by the end of the year, which paralleled Dow Jones’ distribution deal with The Yomiuri Shimbun in February that allowed the printing of The Wall Street Journal Asia in Japanese.
It also launched a Chinese-language version of WSJ.com in December last year.
