Festive Shopping Grows on E-commerce Amid Price Hikes; Lucknow Electronics Market Awaits Late Surge
Indian consumers showed strong festive shopping activity despite higher prices, with ecommerce platforms Amazon and Flipkart reporting significant growth in sales and customer visits, especially from non-metro and Tier-II cities. Amazon's Great Indian Festival saw over 50% volume growth, while Flipkart noted a 20-22% rise in orders and buyers. Conversely, Lucknow's electronics market experienced a slow start due to steep price increases and supply-chain challenges but anticipates a late surge during the Dhanteras-Diwali period to meet revenue targets.
