Gujarat govt to provide discounts on Khadi starting this Gandhi Jayanti

Gujarat government offers 30% rebate on Khadi and Polyvastra products from Oct 2-Dec 31, boosting local artisans and PM Modi's Vocal for Local initiative.

"Khadi for Nation - Khadi for Fashion - Prime Minister Narendra Modi"

Gandhinagar, October 2

In line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call for "Vocal for Local" and "Har Ghar Swadeshi, Ghar Ghar Swadeshi," Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has adopted an approach to provide substantial discounts on Khadi, the symbol of Swadeshi, starting this Gandhi Jayanti.

To realise Mahatma Gandhi's vision of Khadi, CM announced a 30% special market promotion assistance on the production cost of Swadeshi products -- Khadi and Polyvastra -- starting from Gandhi Jayanti, October 2, 2025. Consumers can avail this benefit as a rebate on Khadi purchases until December 31.

This decision to provide a discount on Khadi will promote wider production, sale, and use of indigenous goods, furthering the vision of an Atmanirbhar and prosperous India, aligning with the Prime Minister's motto "Khadi for Nation - Khadi for Fashion."

The 30% special market promotion assistance announced on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti is expected to boost sales of Khadi and Polyvastra products across the state. This includes items crafted by artisans of cooperatives and organisations, such as mat, carpet, silk patola, woollen sweaters, jerseys, shawls, and various Khadi ready-made garments and handcrafted goods.

Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel's decision will bring a financial boost to rural artisans producing and selling Khadi and Gram Udyog items this Diwali.

The Khadi Board will organise Khadi and Polyvastra exhibition-cum-sale fairs at multiple locations across the state this Gandhi Jayanti.

This Gandhi Jayanti, exhibition-cum-sale fairs will be held at Bharuch from October 5-14 Chikhli from November 5-14 and Vapi from November 16-25

Great move by Gujarat government! Khadi is not just a fabric, it's our heritage. The timing before Diwali is perfect - will help rural artisans earn more during festival season. Hope other states follow this example.

As someone who recently moved to Ahmedabad, I'm excited to explore Khadi products. The exhibition dates in Bharuch, Chikhli and Vapi are helpful. Does anyone know if there will be similar events in Ahmedabad?

While I appreciate the sentiment, I hope the discounts actually reach the consumers and don't get lost in bureaucracy. Last year, many such schemes had implementation issues. Still, good step for promoting local artisans.

Khadi for Fashion indeed! The modern Khadi designs are so stylish and comfortable. Perfect for Gujarat's climate too. Will definitely visit the exhibition in Bharuch next week. Jai Hind! 🙏

Interesting initiative. I've always admired the craftsmanship in Indian textiles. The mention of silk patola and woollen sweaters caught my attention. Are these exhibitions open to foreign visitors as well?
