Jewellery Industry Calls for Modernised Gold Monetisation Scheme to Mobilise Idle Household Gold

India's gem and jewellery industry urges the government to modernise the Gold Monetisation Scheme to mobilise idle household gold and reduce reliance on gold imports. Industry leaders propose integrating jewellers and stakeholders through a revamped framework, including a bullion bank, to channel dormant gold into the formal economy. This approach aims to support economic stability, save foreign exchange, and protect the livelihoods of millions, aligning with Prime Minister Modi's call for responsible gold consumption.
