India witnessed record Diwali 2025 sales worth ₹6.05 lakh crore, reflecting robust economic momentum and a surge in 'Swadeshi' sentiment, according to the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT). Over 87% of consumers preferred Indian-made goods, and festive trade created 50 lakh jobs. Traders attributed higher sales to GST cuts, rising incomes, and PM Narendra Modi's 'Vocal for Local' appeal.
