Years after the Southern editions of The Indian Express were hived off and given to Manoj Sonthalia as part of a family settlement, Viveck Goenka's Indian Express is all set to reclaim the South under the brand name of National Standard. It is currently recruiting for a Bangalore edition which will be launched first, but editions in Hyderabad, Chennai, and Kochi are also planned. The New Indian Express will now have competition from within the family.
