Plaque in tribute to Indian Express group founder Ramnath Goenka unveiled at Nariman Point in Mumbai

A marble plaque was unveiled in Mumbai on Monday to honor the founder of The Indian Express Group, Ramnath Goenka. The dedication took place at the newspaper's headquarters on Nariman Point, where Goenka launched The Indian Express in 1932. The plaque, crafted from Makrana marble, commemorates Goenka's legacy as a fearless, credible, and fiercely independent newspaperman.

Anant Goenka, Executive Director of The Indian Express Group, attended the event organized on the founder's 35th death anniversary. The 8.5 feet wide and 12.5 feet high plaque, constructed over four months, took two and a half weeks to engrave. It stands on a platform, making the total height 14 feet. The plaque installation followed the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's approval in July 2025, with additional permissions from traffic police, BEST, and the Mumbai Heritage Conservation Committee.
