Amazon and Flipkart Kick Off Festive Sales With Big Discounts on iPhones, TVs, and More
The festive season is officially here as Amazon and Flipkart launch their annual sales — the Great Indian Festival and Big Billion Days (BBD), respectively — starting Monday. Shoppers can now enjoy attractive deals on popular products, including the iPhone 16, smart TVs, and home appliances.
With the new GST 2.0 rates in effect, these deals come at even more appealing prices, making it a great time to shop.
Early Access for Prime and Flipkart Plus Members
Amazon Prime and Flipkart Plus members get 24-hour early access to the sales, allowing them to snap up discounts before the rest of the country. Items like TVs, air conditioners, and dishwashers now fall under the 18% GST bracket, further enhancing savings for buyers.
Flipkart expects over 300 million unique visitors during BBD and has increased its workforce to cover 19,500 pin codes across 4,500 locations. Amazon has also strengthened its infrastructure with 12 new fulfillment centers and expanded payment and financing options to ease purchases.
Hot Deals to Watch

- Large-screen 4K LED TVs have dropped in price, making them an attractive pick.
- Samsung is offering deals on the Galaxy S24 Ultra and S25 Ultra models.
