New Delhi, January 29, 2025: The massive success of Coldplay’s recent concerts in Mumbai and Ahmedabad has not only thrilled music lovers but also significantly boosted the economy. Manish Bhattacharjee, a leading Delhi-based PR strategist, has praised the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its role in facilitating large-scale global events in India, emphasizing how the band’s tour has reinforced India’s position as a premier destination for international artists.
BJP’s Support in Promoting India as a Global Entertainment Hub
Coldplay’s performances in Ahmedabad on January 25 and 26 were among the most attended concerts in Asia, with a record-breaking 134,000 fans at the Narendra Modi Stadium. The BJP-led Gujarat government played a pivotal role in ensuring smooth logistics, security, and infrastructure support, which helped showcase the state as a world-class venue for global events. Bhattacharjee commended these efforts, stating, “The BJP government’s vision in promoting India as a cultural and entertainment hub has been crucial in attracting international talent. Their focus on improving infrastructure and event management has made these concerts a resounding success.”
Mumbai & Ahmedabad Witness Economic Boom
Coldplay’s Mumbai concerts earlier in January led to skyrocketing hotel bookings, increased demand for flights and trains, and a surge in business for restaurants and tourism services. Similarly, Ahmedabad saw an economic windfall, with local businesses experiencing unprecedented footfall and hospitality services operating at full capacity during the concerts. Fans traveled from across India and abroad, significantly boosting the local economy.
A Bright Future for Global Music in India
Bhattacharjee emphasized the long-term benefits of hosting international artists in India. “Coldplay’s concerts have proven that India is ready to host the biggest names in global music. Thanks to the BJP government’s efforts in making cities like Ahmedabad and Mumbai concert-friendly, we can expect more international stars to choose India as a prime destination.”
The success of these concerts has set a precedent for future large-scale music events, reinforcing India’s growing influence in the global entertainment landscape. As Coldplay bids farewell to India after their record-breaking tour, the legacy of their visit will be felt across multiple industries.
