Flipkart has officially unveiled its Big Festive Dhamaka Sale 2025, the second wave of its festival-season festivities. Running from October 4 to October 8, it brings fresh discounts, new bank deals and extensions on categories like smartphones, appliances, and fashion. Here’s what shoppers should know.
What Is the Big Festive Dhamaka Sale?
The Big Festive Dhamaka Sale acts as a phase-2 festival event by Flipkart, coming immediately after the Big Billion Days (BBD) sale concluded on October 2.
- It gives Flipkart another shot at reaching festival consumers who may have missed BBD deals.
- Many discounts, especially in smartphone and electronics verticals, are being refreshed with new offers, new bank tie-ups, and additional incentives.
- Flipkart is positioning the sale as “Big Diwali Dhamaka,” aiming to capture the Diwali shopping mood.

Key Offers & Bank Discounts
Bank & Card Offers
Flipkart has rolled out fresh bank partnerships for this sale:
- HDFC Bank credit or debit cards are being highlighted for instant discounts up to ₹1,750 on electronics (₹1,500 on mobiles) and lower caps on other categories.
- Axis Bank cardholders may also see cashback offers (in some earlier sales, Flipkart Axis had 5% cashback up to ₹4,000), though precise terms for this Dhamaka sale are yet to be fully disclosed.
- Some bonus discounts apply when the transaction exceeds certain thresholds.
Featured Products & Categories
- Smartphones remain a focus: iPhone 16, Samsung Galaxy S24 / S24 FE, and Motorola’s Edge series are being heavily promoted.
- Home appliances, large TVs, furniture, fashion, and kitchen & home goods will see deep markdowns.
- A slew of brand collaborations, e.g. Samsung Galaxy AI, Intel Core, Acer, Motorola, suggest spotlight deals on those brands.
How It Differs From Big Billion Days
- New deals & refreshed pricing: Even items already discounted in BBD may get newer slashed rates or additional benefits.
- Different bank offers: The primary bank partners have shifted (HDFC is being emphasized) instead of Axis/ICICI from BBD.
- No early access layer: Unlike BBD, Plus/Black members don’t appear to get an early start.
- Timing & overlap strategy: It extends the festive sale window from end of September deeper into October, capturing shoppers in the Diwali build-up period.
What Shoppers Should Do
- Prepare your wishlist: now, preload items you want so you can act fast when the sale starts.
- Check bank eligibility & card limits: ensure your HDFC (or other) card is active and meets minimum spend criteria.
- Set alerts: using Flipkart’s “Notify Me” or third-party apps to catch price drops or “Deal of the Hour” alerts.
- Compare before checkout: sometimes combining exchange offers or coupon stacking yields better net price.
- Shop early for big items: flagship phones and high-demand electronics tend to sell out fastest.
Implications & Market Context
- The Big Festive Dhamaka represents Flipkart’s effort to extend momentum beyond BBD, keeping consumers engaged into Diwali.
- eRetail analysts expect this phase to capture residual demand from shoppers who missed out earlier, and to push overall festive gross merchandise value (GMV) higher.
- Brand sponsors (e.g. Samsung Galaxy AI, Intel) hint at tie-ups and exclusive drops, which may shape highlight deals.
Flipkart’s Big Festive Dhamaka Sale 2025 runs from 4 to 8 October, offering a fresh wave of deals post Big Billion Days. With strong focus on electronics, new bank tie-ups, and competitive pricing, this is a key event for holiday shoppers. If you missed earlier offers or want a second chance at flagship discounts, this sale is your opportunity to shop smart in the Diwali window.
