Gold Demand Remains Resilient During Ganesh Chaturthi Despite Higher Prices
As the Ganesh Chaturthi festive season begins, gold demand in India is expected to stay resilient despite prices rising 45-50% compared to last year. Consumers are adopting cautious spending habits, favoring lightweight jewellery, lower-carat pieces, gold coins, and smaller purchases. Exchange and upgrade transactions are also contributing to demand. Industry experts note that while volumes may decline, overall spending remains steady due to higher prices, with trust and design playing key roles in buyer decisions.
