Flipkart will unleash massive discounts across all major categories. Here’s what to watch for:

Kitchen appliances like mixer-grinders, microwaves, and air fryers often see 50-80% off. Home essentials like cookware sets, furniture, décor also hit records (some up to 70% off). Don’t miss Flipkart’s own brand deals (MarQ, SmartBuy) for great value.

Accessorize with huge deals on watches, sunglasses, and bags: think 50-80% off top brands. Flipkart’s fashion sale often includes “extra ₹200 off on ₹1,000+” cart coupons or Festive vouchers.
- Beauty & Personal Care: Expect big discounts on makeup and skincare brands. Flipkart typically offers 30-60% off on categories like fragrances, cosmetics, haircare appliances and grooming kits.
Premium brands (L’Oreal, Lakmé, Maybelline, Nykaa’s Mamaearth, etc.) often have bundle deals (e.g. gift packs at 40% off). Hairdryers, trimmers, and electric toothbrushes may come with additional exchange offers. Festival combos (Diwali gift kits of creams or perfumes) are also common. Check Flipkart’s Beauty store for BOGO and flash deals.
- Groceries & Daily Essentials: Flipkart’s grocery arm (Supermart/Fresh) will feature Diwali bundles. Sweets, snacks, and home cleaning packs will be at solid discounts. Stocks of staples (rice, oil, pulses, spices) often see 10-30% off plus quantity packs.
Keep an eye out for cashback coupons on grocery apps like BigBasket and Blinkit (via the ICICI bonanza) which sometimes extend to Flipkart as well. Even small savings on daily essentials can add up during the sale.
- Toys, Books & Festive Gifting: With Diwali gift-giving on everyone’s mind, Flipkart’s toy and gift sections will be brimming with offers. Expect discounts on popular toys (Lego sets, board games, educational kits), often 20–50% off.
Children’s books (storybooks, activity books) typically go on 30-50% sale. Don’t forget Diwali specials like decorative diyas, lights, and pooja items. Flipkart usually bundles these into festive combos at up to 60% off. Look for dedicated “Diwali Gift” sections on the site.
Flash Sales, Rush Hour Deals & Exclusive Offers
Flipkart will keep things exciting with limited-time promotions throughout the sale:
- Flash Sales: These are quick drops (often for a few hours) on selected gadgets or phones. Check Flipkart’s homepage and app for “Flash Sale” banners: you might grab a major deal (e.g. earphones at ₹1,999) if you’re fast.
- Lunch/Dinner Time Deals: In previous sales, Flipkart ran special deals around noon and in the evening. A smartphone or TV might get an extra 5-10% off for two hours, watch the Flipkart app notifications.
- Flipkart Plus Member Surprises: As a Flipkart Plus member, you may get extra coupons or “Plus Flash” access to steeper cuts. Plus users also earn bonus SuperCoins during such sales.
- Flipkart-Only Launches: Flipkart often has exclusive product launches during Diwali. For instance, a new smartphone model might debut with a Flipkart-only configuration or bonus. Stay tuned to announcements on Flipkart Live and social media for any launch events.
Always keep an eye on the “Big Bang Sale” page on Flipkart (or the app) as it will aggregate top offers, flash sale timings, and bank-specific deals once the sale goes live.
Coupons, Pre-Book Offers, EMI & Exchange Tips
Beyond item discounts, smart savings come from coupons and EMI schemes:
- Discount Coupons: Leading up to the sale, Flipkart will likely drip out app coupons (e.g. ₹200 off on ₹1,000) and site-wide vouchers (like 5% off on entire cart for Premium members). Check your email, app notifications and credit card promos. Flipkart also often gives out additional coupons for converting Pay Later or using new payment methods.
- Pre-Book Deals: If Flipkart lists new phones or electronics with “Pre-book now” options, take note. Pre-booking may earn you vouchers (e.g. ₹500 gift card) or guaranteed freebies (like flip cover).
- No-Cost EMI: You can split purchases into easy EMIs, often at no extra cost with partnered cards. SBI, ICICI, Axis, HDFC and Bajaj Finserv EMIs are usually zero-percent. Even debit cards and wallets sometimes allow EMI on select products. Look for the “No-Cost EMI” tag on product pages.
- Exchange Offers: Get extra savings by trading in old devices. Flipkart’s exchange program can knock off thousands on new smartphone or appliance buys. For example, a used phone exchange bonus might give up to ₹4,000 off in addition to the sale price. Exchange savings stack on top of bank discounts and coupons, so always compare “with exchange” prices on the listing page.
Combining these can maximize your deal: apply an item-level coupon and use EMI, or use exchange + a bank card discount.
