Gold Price Drop Spurs Increased Jewellery Sales Ahead of Festive and Wedding Seasons
Gold prices have fallen significantly in several Indian cities, including Gwalior and Mumbai, dropping from highs around 1.80 lakh to approximately 1.37-1.38 lakh per 10 grams. This decline has led to increased customer footfall and jewellery purchases 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 amid expectations of possible future price increases.
