Diwali retail sales hit record Rs. 3.75L crore in India
During this year's Diwali festivities, the push for made-in-India products resonated with the public, leading to a surge in sales of locally produced goods over Chinese imports. Retail sales reached an all-time high of Rs. 3.75 lakh crore, and the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) anticipates an additional Rs. 50,000 crore in revenue from upcoming celebrations. CAIT's 'Bhartiya Utpad-Sabka Ustad' campaign, which supports PM Modi's "vocal for local" initiative, has been deemed a success.
