Diwali 2025 is set to become India's largest economic fair since independence, with projected trade exceeding Rs 5 lakh crore according to CAIT. The festival spending will span multiple sectors including food, textiles, electronics, and services, driven by recent GST reductions and the growing Swadeshi movement promoting Indian-made products. Delhi alone anticipates Rs 75,000 crore in sales, reflecting India's remarkable market growth since 2021.
