Jewellers expect 20-30% rise in Dhanteras sales despite price volatility

Jewellers are expecting gold and silver sales to increase by 20-30% in value terms this Dhanteras, even as precious metal prices have corrected from their January peaks, PTI reported.

However, sales volumes of gold are expected to remain largely unchanged from last year, with consumers increasingly opting for lightweight jewellery and smaller-ticket purchases.

The correction in prices could also encourage families with weddings in the coming months to advance their jewellery purchases. World Gold Council Regional CEO (India) Sachin Jain said the recent price correction has stimulated jewellery demand, with wedding-related purchases likely to support sales across categories, including jewellery, coins and bars.
