CAIT Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal said Kumbh boosted local trade noting high demand for 'meticulously branded' themed products like diaries, calendars, jute bags & stationery.

The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) estimates that the Mahakumbh, scheduled for January 14 to February 26, 2025, in Prayagraj, will generate business worth Rs 3 lakh crore. This economic activity is expected to span various sectors including hospitality, transportation, food, and retail, with around 40 crore people anticipated to visit.

Additionally, CAIT has proposed the establishment of a Mahakumbh Trade Facilitation Committee to coordinate with various stakeholders to enhance the trading environment during the event.
