Amazon’s Great Indian Festival

Amazon’s Great Indian Festival 2026 begins at midnight on 8 October for all customers, with Prime members getting early access from 7 October. Amazon has announced a 10 per cent instant discount on SBI credit and debit cards and EMI, up to 65 per cent off on smart TVs and projectors, and up to 18 months of No Cost EMI.

Flipkart’s Big Billion Days

Flipkart’s Big Billion Days runs from 9 to 18 October, with early access for Plus and Black members from 8 October.

More Sales Before Diwali

A Diwali-focused round is also expected later, with estimates of 15 to 25 October for a Big Bang Diwali Sale and 25 October to 6 November for a Big Diwali Sale, with Plus access a day earlier. These later dates are estimates.

Why the Timing Matters

Diwali falls on 8 November 2026, so most major sales through October and early November are timed around it. Compare final prices across platforms before buying.
