The Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 in Prayagraj is anticipated to draw over 60 crore visitors. Mohandas Pai refuted claims of the event generating ₹3 lakh crore in revenue, clarifying it as expenditure. The government's ₹7,500 crore investment has led to significant infrastructure developments including flyovers, underpasses, roads, a vast tent city, and numerous facilities. The event will feature 11 hospitals, thousands of vendors, and extensive efforts to support digital payments and accommodations.
