India Sees Increased Gold Purchases and Gem Jewellery Exports During Festive Season
During the recent festive season, India's gold buying surged 30% in volume, with consumers purchasing 52 tonnes worth ₹72,000 crore, aided by a price correction and traditional demand. Concurrently, India's gem and jewellery exports rose 34% year-on-year to $2.92 billion in October, driven by strong international orders for gold, silver, and lab-grown diamonds. While exports to the US and Hong Kong increased, shipments to the UAE declined. The festive period and wedding season supported both domestic sales and export growth.
