The Times of India Annual is one of the many publications produced by the Times Group of companies.The Times of India issued its first edition on 3 November, 1838 as The Bombay Times and Journal of Commerce. J.E. Brennan was its first editor. In the last century, the company has changed hands several times under editor Robert Knight (1825–1892); Thomas Jewell Bennett along with Frank Morris Coleman acquired the newspaper through their new joint stock company, Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd, followed by Ramakrishna Damliya who was succeeded by Sahu Shanti Prasad Jain. The Government of India took control of the Times Group, appointing D K Kunte as Chairman of the Board. Kunte had no prior business experience and was also an opposition member of the Lok Sabha.

In 1976, during the Emergency in India, the Government transferred ownership of the newspaper back to Ashok Kumar Jain (Sahu Shanti Prasad Jain's son, Ramkrishna Dalmia's grandson and the father of Samir Jain and Vineet Jain).In late 2006, Times Group acquired Vijayanand Printers Limited (VPL). VPL previously published two Kannada newspapers, Vijay Karnataka and Usha Kiran, and an English daily, Vijay Times. Vijay Karnataka was the leader in the Kannada newspaper segment then.

The paper launched a Chennai edition, 12 April 2008.
