Weddings to generate ₹6.5L cr this year
Financial Express Delhi
|October 31, 2025
WEDDINGS IN INDIA will generate ₹6.5 lakh crore business from 4.6 million marriages in the first set of auspicious dates from November 1 to December 14 this year, as estimated by the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT).
Delhi alone will generate ₹1.8 lakh crore from 480,000 weddings.
“While the total number of weddings is nearly similar to last year in the same time period, spending per wedding has increased significantly, reflecting higher disposable incomes, inflation in gold and silver prices, and rising consumer confidence after a record-breaking festive season,’ said CAIT secretary general and Chandni Chowk MP Praveen Khandelwal.
In 2024, 4.8 million weddings took place with an expenditure of ₹5.9 lakh crore. In 2023, 3.8 million weddings were solemnised with ₹4.74 lakh crore and in 2022, 3.2 million weddings took place with ₹3.75 lakh crore expenditure in the same time frame.
Khandelwal added that the mood this season is definitely swadeshi and 'Vocal for Local’ will dominate, be it destination or décor.CAIT’s study across 75 major Indian cities also highlights a noticeable shift towards Indian-made goods, following PM Modi’s 'Wed in India’ call last year to encourage Indian couples, particularly the wealthy, to host their destination weddings in India.
