Gold Price Decline Boosts Jewellery Sales Ahead of Dhanteras and Wedding Season
Gold prices have fallen significantly across India, with drops of up to ₹42,000 per 10 grams reported in cities like Gwalior and Mumbai. This decline has led to increased consumer interest and higher footfalls in jewellery stores ahead of the festive season, including Dhanteras and upcoming weddings. Jewellers report a 10-25% rise in sales and advance bookings, with buyers opting for lightweight and lower-karat gold to manage budgets. Industry representatives view the price correction as a positive development encouraging festive purchases.
