The Calcutta Times is a free supplement circulated with the Times of India published by the Times Group in West Bengal, Kolkata (formally Calcutta). Daily supplement focuses on city specific issues, in a very lucid manner, which generally appeal to urban youth. This supplement covers page 3 parties, entertainment news and includes regular features like television guide, movies, regular crosswords. A large part of the supplement is dedicated to celebrity gossip from Tollywood, Bollywood and Hollywood. It also covers celebrity news, news features, international and national music news, international and national fashion news, lifestyle and feature articles pegged on news events both national and international that have local interest value.

It is known for frothy coverage of parties, lifestyle events and feature stories in the city of Kolkata. At worst, certain disgruntled critics dismiss it as a paper that "isn't serious", but its popularity and brand value among its target audience is undeniable. The front page of the paper is one of the most eagerly-read pages in the city of Kolkata.

The Times of India and Calcutta Times ranks top in terms of circulation in Calcutta.
