After witnessing two years of lackluster Diwali, festive sales have generated a whooping business to the tune of Rs 1.25 lakh crore, according to Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT).

“For #Diwali festival sales, people thronged the markets and helped in generating huge business to the tune of ₹1.25 lakh crores which is record trade figure in last 10 years on the occasion of Diwali,” news agency ANI quoted CAIT as saying.

The trade figures come as a major boost to businesses reeling under the restrictions imposed by governments owing to the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic.
