Amar Ujala publishes a 16- to 18-page issue daily and also supplements focusing on matters such as careers, lifestyle, entertainment and women.
In 2015 the newspaper's managing director, Rajul Maheshwari, announced in a press release that it was entering the "rural events and activation" market, saying that “Amar Ujala is not just a newspaper. It is also a change agent." The intention is to hold short events in several towns that would bring together significant participants in the local rural economy with larger agriculture-based service businesses and government agencies.[5]
