Overview
- Amazon confirmed the Great Indian Festival will begin on Thursday, October 8 and has already started teasing early deals across categories.
- State Bank of India cardholders will get a confirmed 10% instant discount on eligible transactions during the sale and Prime members are expected to have early-access perks.
- Amazon has published specific teased prices for Samsung phones, for example the Galaxy M17e at ₹16,999 and reductions on Galaxy Z Fold 8 models, though final prices will show at checkout.
- To handle festival volumes Amazon India has added fulfilment and sort centres and posted more than 160,000 seasonal jobs to speed deliveries and expand same‑day or next‑day service.
- Shoppers are urged to wait for the live sale, compare recent selling prices, and check product‑level terms for bank offers, exchange values and no‑cost EMI because eligibility and final savings vary.
