The Kawad Yatra significantly boosts the local economy by driving demand for food, lodging, transport, and religious items. Small vendors, eateries, and local shops benefit from the influx of pilgrims, while hotels and guesthouses see higher occupancy. Transportation services, including autos and buses, also experience increased income. Temporary employment opportunities rise as volunteers and workers are hired for services. Overall, the pilgrimage strengthens local trade, supports small businesses, and provides seasonal economic growth.
