Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Markets in the city are anticipating a significant surge in sales during Dhanteras, with traders forecasting a minimum 20% increase compared to the previous year.

According to Ajay Devnani, secretary of the Bhopal Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the market has been growing since Navratri, with goods like puja samagri, jewellery, sweets, and utensils finding eager buyers. The impending wedding season is also boosting the market, as well as the upcoming winter season, which will likely see an uptick in woolen purchases.
Jewelers such as Narendra Simhal and Rajendra Gupta report a rise in demand for gold jewellery, with consumers opting for lighter and purer options, such as 18-carat gold and silver and gold coins. Sunil Kumar, manager of a home appliances store, notes that LCD TVs, refrigerators, and AI-driven washing machines are the top-selling items, while Ashok Tejwani of a utensils shop mentions a resurgence in demand for kansa thali sets and other traditional kitchenware.
Overall, Bhopal traders are optimistic about a substantial rise in Dhanteras sales driven by a combination of factors.
