Amazon’s Great Indian Festival opened with a reported 100% year-on-year increase in order volume, according to a report attributed to The Hindu Businessline and dated October 8, 2026. That figure describes orders during the festival’s opening period—not revenue, units sold, or results for the full festival.
What the 100% growth figure means
The report says order volume was twice the level in the year-earlier comparison. It does not disclose the number of orders in either period, the exact dates compared, or how an order was defined. The figure is attributed to The Hindu Businessline through a WeRIndia listing; the accessible listing does not provide the underlying Amazon announcement or methodology, so the result should be treated as a reported claim rather than an independently audited measurement.

What reportedly drove demand
The listing names four demand-driving categories: premium smartphones, home entertainment, fashion, and beauty. It does not identify particular products, brands, prices, or offers, so the category-level report cannot establish which items sold best or whether any deal was available.

What the report says about customer reach and Amazon Now
The listing says customers from every pin code placed orders, but gives no pin-code breakdown or definition of coverage. It also reports that Amazon Now served more than 120 cities and that one out of every two products was delivered within minutes in those cities. The report does not specify the measurement period or what delivery time qualifies as “within minutes.”
