Retailers gear up for big rush on Republic Day
Business Standard
|January 24, 2026
Retailers expect customers to throng stores during the extended weekend, leading up to Republic Day on Monday, to take advantage of the end of the discount season.
Discounts over the long weekend range from 15 per cent to 50 per cent as retailers look to bring in fresh merchandise after the sales season ends on Monday.
Retail chain Lifestyle has seen a strong end-of-season sale especially in January.
“We saw double-digit sales in January and this momentum is expected to continue over the Republic Day weekend,” Devarajan Iyer, executive director (ED) and chief executive officer (CEO) at Lifestyle told Business Standard.
Iyer pointed out that it saw sales surge as the wedding season picks up in February. This pushed customers to shop in January. The retail chain is running a discount of up to 50 percent.
