With the Diwali season fast approaching, we are seeing both Flipkart and Amazon gearing up for their biggest sale events of the year. That said, Flipkart already teased its upcoming sale earlier this week, and now, Amazon has followed suit with its own set of teasers and details. The Amazon Great Indian Festival Sale 2023 banner is finally live, and we get a sneak peek into the various offers and deals that this mega sale event is scheduled to bring. It’s the perfect time to grab your dream gadget or appliance, indeed. So, when is the Amazon Great Indian Festival? What kind of discounts will Amazon’s upcoming sale in 2023 have in store? We disclose all of that and a lot more in this guide, so read on!
Amazon Great Indian Festival 2023: Sale Dates
The Amazon Great Indian Festival Sale microsite has gone live and, like with the Flipkart Big Billion Days 2023 page, we don’t get to see an exact sale date just yet. So, if you are looking for an answer to “when does the Great Indian Festival on Amazon start”, sadly, you don’t have the dates right now. However, the banner does say that the sale event is Coming Soon. History is evidence that the two e-commerce portals have always set neck and neck dates for their year-end mega sale events.
So, if the Flipkart Big Billion Days sale is expected to start October 9, 2023, you can expect the Amazon Great Indian Festival to commence somewhere around that time.
However, while plowing through tipster Mukul Sharma’s Twitter post, we found a user’s comment, revealing what is allegedly the “official date” for Amazon’s sale. The user claims that the Amazon Great Indian Festival 2023 sale will start October 10, 2023, and has shared a banner for the same. Maybe, Amazon India accidentally revealed the date or something, but only a few people noticed. Either way, we can’t say for sure how legit this is, but yes, it isn’t way off.
Get Access to Amazon Great Indian Festival 2023 Early
Just like Flipkart allows its Plus members to get access to its Big Billion Days Sale a day early, Amazon Prime users can enjoy a similar benefit. So, for example, if the sale starts on October 10, 2023, Prime users will get access to it a day early, on October 9, 12:00 AM. Plus, Prime members get to enjoy additional benefits like easy returns. This comes in handy during sale events, in case something goes wrong with your delivered product.
However, for that, you do need to get your hands on an Amazon Prime Membership. For your information, Amazon Prime Membership price in India got hiked a couple of months ago, and now starts from Rs 299 per month or Rs 1,499 per year.
Amazon Great Indian Festival 2023 Offers & Discounts
Unlike Flipkart’s microsite, the Great Indian Festival 2023 page doesn’t reveal the sale date or deal reveal dates of any kind. However, we get a good idea of the kind of discounts and offers we will get to see. There are going to be some pretty attractive discounts across multiple product categories, from smartphones and smartwatches to laptops and headphones.
Most importantly, there will also be an instant 10% discount on SBI Bank Credit and Debit cards across all tech categories. As for other offers, here’s a quick rundown:

Starting with mobile phones first, since the Amazon Great Indian Festival Sale is powered by Samsung Galaxy S23you can expect to see impressive discounts on not only the Galaxy S23 series but Samsung’s entire lineup. Other Amazon-exclusive smartphones include the OnePlus 11R and iQOO Neo 7 Pro, both of which have been blockbuster devices this year.
