MUMBAI : RMI.COM(M) Rajesh Rokde, Chairman of GJC said, “On the occasion of Akshaya Tritiya today, overall trade across India has been very strong. If I speak about the entire country, an estimated figure of around 18 to 20 tonnes of business has been recorded. Notably, South India picked up momentum early and delivered the first strong reports.
In Maharashtra, the rush increased after 2 PM, and as we are observing, shops have remained open till late at night with excellent business activity. Traditionally, Akshaya Tritiya is considered an auspicious time for purchases, and this year it has been clearly seen that people’s trust in this industry has grown even more.
With gold prices rising from around ₹90,000 per 10 grams last year to approximately ₹1,54,000 per 10 grams now, the attraction towards this sector has increased significantly. People are not only buying gold, silver, and diamonds for religious or auspicious reasons but are also viewing it as a solid investment.
Gradually, people have understood the benefits of systematic investment buying on every auspicious occasion and this has worked in their favor. Therefore, on this major occasion of Akshaya Tritiya, which also coincides with Parshuram Jayanti today, the buying has been truly significant and “Akshaya” (everlasting).
Overall, positive and encouraging reports are coming in from across the country.”
