Overview
- The traders’ body’s estimate covers Nov. 1 to Dec. 14, 2025 and is based on an Oct. 15–25 survey across 75 major cities.
- The projection is roughly 10% higher than last year’s comparable season, with similar wedding counts but higher spend per event driven by disposable incomes and gold and silver inflation.
- Delhi is expected to account for about Rs 1.8 lakh crore from roughly 4.8 lakh weddings, according to the study.
- Over 70% of wedding purchases are now domestic, with industry voices reporting most destination celebrations staying within India and strong interest in heritage and hill venues such as Rajasthan, Goa, Wayanad and Coorg.
- Hospitality and allied sectors report rising wedding-driven demand, including Rajasthan hotels deriving 20–30% of peak-season revenue from weddings and average event budgets ranging from Rs 25 lakh to Rs 90 lakh.
