Festive demand remains strong despite record prices

Even with gold and silver prices at record highs, demand this Akshaya Tritiya is expected to remain robust. According to the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), total trade could cross ₹20,000 crore this year—up from last year’s ₹16,000 crore, reported news agency ANI.

“Akshaya Tritiya has traditionally been one of India's most auspicious occasions for purchasing gold... While gold continues to dominate, the nature of purchasing is evolving significantly in response to steep price escalation,” said Praveen Khandelwal, Member of Parliament from Chandni Chowk and Secretary General of CAIT.

Buying patterns shift as prices surge

Gold prices have jumped sharply, from around ₹ ₹1 lakh per 10 grams last year to nearly ₹1.58 lakh now. Silver has seen an even steeper rise, from ₹85,000 per kg to about ₹2.55 lakh per kg.

Instead of dampening demand, the surge is changing how people buy. Consumers are increasingly opting for lighter jewellery and exploring alternatives like silver and diamond products.

“There is a clear shift towards lightweight, wearable jewellery, alongside a stronger focus on silver and diamond products. Attractive incentives such as reduced making charges and complimentary gold coins are also helping sustain consumer interest,” ANI quoted CAIT National President BC Bhartia as saying.
