The selling calendar for a paint counter in this region
Paint sales in the Gwalior region follow the seasons. October and November are the busiest months, driven by Diwali repainting. The wedding season in winter brings another round of house and shop painting. After the rabi harvest in March and April, many rural families start building, which lifts putty, primer, cement paint and economy emulsions. From April to June, roof waterproofing and heat-reflective coatings sell ahead of the monsoon, and July to September is the quietest period for exterior work. Plan stock and staff around this cycle rather than ordering the same quantity every month.
