West Bengal's 2025 Durga Puja economy rebounded an estimated 10-15% to Rs 46,000-50,000 crore, driven by renewed corporate sponsorships, higher mall footfall, GST-led demand for consumer goods, government grants to nearly 45,000 puja committees (Rs 1.1 lakh each) and increased electricity demand indicating higher activity. Organised retail, automobiles, e-commerce and advertising saw double-digit growth, while small traders and hawkers reported significant losses as spending shifted online and to malls.
