Delhi protests could put Rs 250 crore in daily festive sales at risk

Delhi’s festive and wedding season trade could lose nearly Rs 250 crore a day if protests and road curbs block access to markets.
The warning came from the Confederation of All India Traders, which put the capital’s daily turnover at Rs 500-600 crore.
Old Delhi and New Delhi markets such as Chandni Chowk, Sadar Bazaar and Connaught Place are the ones most at risk.
The body has asked political parties to hold protests only at designated sites between October 2026 and January 2027.
