In 2008, Deshbandhu started its National Edition from New Delhi, thus, becoming the first newspaper in central India to achieve this feat. Today Deshbandhu is published from 7 cities: Raipur, Bilaspur, Bhopal, Jabalpur Satna and New Delhi.

In addition, the group also publishes a broadsheet Hindi eveninger - Highway Channel - from Raipur, Bilaspur and Jagdalpur; a monthly literary journal - Akshar Parv; and also reference books from time to time.
