The previous sales record was of Rs 1.19 crore, which was recorded at the same outlet located in Central Delhi's Connaught Place on October 17, 2017.
 
Sharing details on the record sale, KVIC chairman Vinai Kumar Saxena in a statement said, “The sale on October 13 has recorded a rise of 276 percent as compared to the sale of Rs 33.26 lakh on October 13, 2017. As many as 11,705 customers visited the showroom on October 13 and the total number of bills issued from the counter was 2,341, which means an average purchase of Rs 5,350 per customer.”

Saxena credited India’s Prime Minister for the spike in sales this year and stated: “It was due to the appeals made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the sale of this outlet has gone up from Rs 27 lakh-highest in 2015, to over Rs 1.25 crore on October 13 this year.”
 
KVIC has been expanding its khadi stores across India and has added close to 326 new Khadi institutions in the last two years. It is looking at touching a sales target of Rs 5,000 crore by the end of 2018-19.
