The Indian Express is an Indian English-language daily newspaper, founded in the early 1930s. Its headlines centre on India and the United States, followed by Iran, Pakistan, China and Israel, with politics the largest share, then economy and security. Its stance reads as favourable toward Prime Minister Narendra Modi, neutral toward India as a country, and critical of Donald Trump and United States policy, especially where it affects India.
The Indian Express treats Narendra Modi favourably throughout, quoting him as an authoritative voice and foregrounding his initiatives, while opposition criticism and controversies are reported without being adopted. India as a country is covered neutrally, with government-critical and positive stories side by side. Donald Trump and the United States are treated critically in most months, with an emphasis on unpredictability, reversals and consequences for India such as visa rules, tariffs and sanctions, and with neutral stretches and one brief deferential one in early summer. Iran and Ali Khamenei are covered neutrally and analytically. The stance is measured from headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
Based on headlines from January 2026 to August 2026.
The Indian Express is published by Indian Express Limited, part of the privately held Express Group controlled by the Goenka family, and is headquartered in Mumbai.
