Kali Puja & Diwali trade hits Rs 14,500-crore peak in Kolkata
Business during Dhanteras and Diwali in Kolkata surged to approximately Rs 14,500 crore, driven by strong sales in gold, silver, fireworks, and dry fruits. This uplifted traders after a previous slowdown during Durga Puja. The Confederation of West Bengal Trade Associations reported a 20% increase over the last year, reflecting a robust festive market.
