How to Use Price Tracking During Amazon Great Indian Festival 2026

The Amazon Great Indian Festival is one of the most anticipated shopping events in India. Running annually around the Diwali season, it offers thousands of deals across every category. But with so many discounts, how do you separate genuine bargains from marketing tactics? Price tracking is the answer.

Start tracking before the sale begins

The key to evaluating Great Indian Festival deals is knowing the pre-sale price. Start tracking products you want at least 3-4 weeks before the sale starts. When the sale begins, you can compare the sale price with the pre-sale baseline to see if the discount is real.

Watch for price inflation tactics

Some sellers increase prices 1-2 weeks before the Great Indian Festival, then drop them back during the sale to create the appearance of a large discount. With AI Price History, you can see this pattern clearly. If the sale price is the same as the price from 4 weeks ago, it is not a real discount.

Compare across sellers and variants

During the Great Indian Festival, multiple sellers may offer the same product at different prices. Use our price comparison tools to check which seller offers the best deal. Also check different color or size variants — sometimes one variant is discounted more than others.

Use bank offers for extra savings

Amazon typically partners with banks (HDFC, ICICI, SBI) for additional discounts during the Great Indian Festival. These bank offers can save you an extra 5-10% on top of the sale price. Combine these with price tracking for maximum savings.

Set price alerts for your target products

Before the sale, set price alerts on AI Price History for each product you want. Choose a target price based on the lowest tracked price. When the sale starts and prices update, you will know immediately if the deal meets your criteria.
