CenterJewellery shops strike gold on Dhanteras
What's behind this
Jewellery shops saw strong footfall on Dhanteras, especially in Punjagutta, Somajiguda and Abids, as buyers mixed tradition with investment. One report links the surge to a decline in gold prices, while another notes that a rise in gold prices dampened sales. The price of 22‑carat gold was quoted at ₹1,31,500 for 10 grams. According to industry players, the fall in prices is expected to drive a 15‑20 % increase in sales volume, reflecting encouraging consumer sentiment and improving demand.
