What's behind this
Buyers of gold or silver Lakshmi‑Ganesha idols for Diwali puja are advised to confirm whether the items are subject to mandatory BIS hallmarking, verify the Hallmark Unique Identification Number via the BIS Care app, and examine purity, weight, workmanship and making charges before paying. On Dhanteras, Indians bought about Rs 60,000 crore of gold, a rise driven by higher prices while quantities stayed flat. Gold’s 24‑karat price in Delhi was ₹1,43,570 per 10 g, slightly above other metros, and silver prices were uniform across five cities. Analysts note bullion may stay under pressure as US‑Iran tensions and upcoming inflation data influence market sentiment.
