<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper, two new classes of matrices - Drazin - theta matrix and theta - Drazin matrix are introduced for a square matrix of index <inline-formula><tex-math id="M3">\begin{document}$ m $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>. Whenever the index is equal to one, we get special case of matrices called Group - theta matrix and theta - Group matrix respectively. Several characterizations of these matrices, the integral representations, representation in limit form and the representation in terms of rank factorization are obtained. Also, the relationship of Drazin -theta and theta - Drazin matrices with other well known generalized inverses are investigated. By applying the concept of Drazin - theta matrix, general solutions of certain types of matrix equations are characterized here.</p>
