Amazon Great Indian Festival 2026 sale date revealed
The Great Indian Festival 2026 sale will begin on October 8th. While the company hasn’t officially revealed it yet, there’s a high chance that Prime members will get access to the sale 24 hours before non-Prime members, as has been the case with previous major Amazon sales.
Additionally, Prime members are generally prioritised for faster deliveries depending on their purchases and location, giving them the comfort of getting their hands on their order as soon as possible.

So far, Amazon hasn’t teased any product-specific deals. With less than twenty days until the sale begins, we expect deals and offers to be revealed soon, especially in high-interest categories such as smartphones, laptops, and electronics. That said, with smartphone and personal computing prices rising due to the industry-wide memory crisis, the Great Indian Festival sale could be worth waiting for, offering lower prices than usual when paired with multiple offers and bank discounts.
As for the smartphone offers you can expect during the sale, with OnePlus and iQOO being the authorised selling brands on Amazon, interested buyers can keep an eye out for the OnePlus 15, OnePlus 15R, Nord 6, Nord CE 6, iQOO 15, iQOO 15R, iQOO Z11, iQOO Z11x, and other smartphones for discounts. Previously, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has seen major price cuts; therefore, that could also be a smartphone worth wishlisting, while buyers interested in iPhones may wait for the iPhone 16 series to be discounted.
