Expert Insights on Gold Prices
Dinesh Jain Predicts a Sparkling Festive Season Dinesh Jain, Director of the All India Gems and Jewelry (Domestic) Council, anticipates that this year’s festive season will be one for the record books.
Sales are expected to surge by 35%, and jewelers are pulling out all the stops with enticing offers. They’ve been diligently working on new designs and stock for the past three months.
Price Expectations During the Festive Season
Will Gold Prices Soar or Stay Stable? Will gold prices see a spike during the festive season? According to Jain, while there may be a slight increase in gold prices in the coming days, prices are expected to remain relatively stable throughout the festival.

Hallmarking and Industry Support
Adoption of New Designs and Hallmarked Gold Regarding hallmarking, Jain highlights that consumers are increasingly opting for newly designed and hallmarked gold over older pieces.
The industry stands in support of the government’s hallmarking initiatives and has made recommendations for removing the date option in hallmarking, as well as expanding the number of hallmarking centers.
