27 lakh visitors attend international Kolkata book fair 2025
The International Kolkata Book Fair 2025 concluded on Sunday, February 9, after a 12-day run, drawing a footfall of 27 lakh visitors, according to the Publishers and Booksellers Guild.
Compared to the 2024 edition, which saw 29 lakh visitors over 14 days and sales of Rs 27 crore, this year’s shorter duration still saw a strong turnout. "Considering that this year’s fair had two fewer days, the footfall is an all-time high," Chatterjee added.
PC Chandra Group also participated in the event, highlighting its deep-rooted connection with Bengali traditions. The stall was inaugurated by MD of PC Chandra Group AK Chandra, joint MD of PC Chandra Jewellers Suvro Chandra, deputy managing director Amitava Chandra, and director Prosenjit Chandra.
