Akshaya Tritiya 2025: Muhurat timing to buy gold on Akha Teej
Akshaya Tritiya is considered to bring good fortune and success. Many individuals purchase gold on this occasion as it is thought that acquiring gold on Akshaya Tritiya leads to prosperity and increased wealth in the future.
Moreover, it is believed that gold purchased on Akshaya Tritiya will never lose its value and will continue to appreciate over time.
At present, the price of gold has reached ₹ 1 lakh for 10 grams, in contrast to ₹ 73,500 on Akshaya Tritiya last year. Likewise, silver prices have risen to ₹ 1,00,000 per kilogram, an increase from ₹ 86,000 per kilogram in 2023.
As per reports, the domestic jewelry market is expected to experience a "mixed trend" in gold and silver purchases on the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya, in light of the significant increase in precious metal prices, stated the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) on Tuesday. Pankaj Arora, President of the All India Jewellers and Goldsmith Federation, has estimated a business turnover of ₹ 16,000 crore on Akshaya Tritiya, which falls on April 30.
This year's Akshaya Tritiya is anticipated to see gold sales reach approximately 12 tonnes valued at nearly ₹ 12,000 crore, along with around 400 tonnes of silver worth ₹ 4,000 crore, totaling an estimated business of ₹ 16,000 crore, according to All India Jewellers and Goldsmith Federation President Pankaj Arora, as per reports.
The term Akshaya translates to 'never diminishing.' Therefore, the advantages of performing any Japa, Yajna, Pitra-Tarpan, or Dan-Punya on this day are everlasting and stay with the individual indefinitely. Akshaya Tritiya occurs during the Shukla Paksha Tritiya in the month of Vaishakha. When Akshaya Tritiya coincides with a Rohini Nakshatra day and a Wednesday, it is deemed highly auspicious.
The day of Akshaya Tritiya is presided over by Lord Vishnu, the preserver in the Hindu Trinity. According to Hindu legends, the Treta Yuga commenced on Akshaya Tritiya.
Typically, Akshaya Tritiya and Parashurama Jayanti, which celebrates the birth of the 6th incarnation of Lord Vishnu, occur on the same day, although the starting time of the Tritiya Tithi may cause Parashurama Jayanti to fall one day.

Did you know Dhirubhai and Kokilaben Ambani were opposed to Anil Ambani's marriage to Tina Munim?
Anil Ambani and Tina Munim's love story faced family opposition due to her Bollywood background. They separated but reunited after years apart. With his family's eventual approval, they married in 1991 and have since shared over 30 years together, raising two sons, Jai Anmol and Jai Anshul. Though Mukesh Ambani often commands the spotlight as India and Asia's wealthiest magnate, his younger brother Anil Ambani holds his own reputation in the business world as Chairman and Managing Director of the Reliance Group. Off the corporate stage, Anil's life twists with that of former Bollywood star Tina Munim . Interestingly, despite the family's prominence, his parents, Dhirubhai and Kokilaben Ambani, initially opposed their youngest son's choice to marry Tina. Anil's First Sight of Tina After finishing his MBA at Wharton in 1983, Anil noticed Tina for the first time at a wedding. Although there were no sparks of romance in that moment, Tina caught his attention right away. Anil later recalled that what made Tina memorable was her bold choice of wearing a black saree—a rare sight at a traditional Hindu wedding, making her stand out from the guests. They didn't interact during that occasion, but destiny moderated a few months later when a mutual friend introduced them in Philadelphia. At that meeting, however, Tina's experience as a popular actress led her to politely decline Anil's suggestion of a date, as she was already used to receiving attention from admirers. Rekindling Love and Family Opposition In a twist of destiny, Anil and Tina crossed paths again in 1986, thanks to an introduction by Tina's nephew, eager to connect two Gujaratis. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like AirSense 11 – Smart tech for deep sleep ResMed Buy Now Undo Their first date sparked a quick connection, and their feelings grew rapidly. Yet, the developing romance hit a roadblock when Anil's parents discovered he was involved with a Bollywood actress. Holding strong reservations about the film industry, the Ambani family opposed the relationship, forcing Anil and Tina to part ways despite their deep affection. Separate Paths and Renewed Commitment After parting ways, Tina relocated to the United States to study interior design, and during this period, she and Anil lost contact. Their connection was renewed only when Anil reached out to check on her safety following an earthquake in Los Angeles. Although Tina was trying to move forward, Anil remained devoted, rejecting all other arranged marriage proposals for four years. Eventually, Anil's family relented and supported his decision to marry Tina. He then urged her to return to India. Hesitant at first, Tina delayed her return until Anil gave her an ultimatum: come back or he would sever communication. Faced with this, Tina returned, only to be warmly welcomed by Anil the very next day. Marriage plans had already been set with her family's approval, culminating in their traditional Gujarati wedding on February 2, 1991, an enduring tale of love, patience, and persistence against the odds. A Lasting Bond Anil and Tina have shared their lives for more than 30 years and are proud parents to two sons, Jai Anmol and Jai Anshul.

CAIT hails India-UK trade pact as major step forward for Indian traders, farmers
Agency: PTI New Delhi, Jul 24 (PTI) The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) on Thursday welcomed the signing of the India–UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA), calling it a major step forward for Indian commerce and a new gateway for small traders, farmers and manufacturers to enter global markets. The agreement will offer duty-free access to nearly 99 per cent of Indian goods exported to the UK. Key sectors like textiles, gems and jewellery, engineering goods and handicrafts are expected to gain from the move. 'This is more than just a trade pact; it is a transformational moment for Indian traders and farmers," said CAIT secretary general and Member of Parliament Praveen Khandelwal, adding that under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, Indian enterprise is stepping confidently onto the global stage. He said that a major feature of the agreement is the removal of tariffs on over 95 per cent of India's agricultural and processed food exports, including spices, turmeric, marine products and mango pulp. The move is expected to increase rural incomes and give a significant push to farm economy. Khandelwal added that the government has rightly protected sensitive sectors like dairy, showing a balanced approach that blends opportunity with caution. According to him, CAIT would actively support India's vast trader network in understanding and making use of the new trade framework. 'The FTA opens fresh opportunities for those who once viewed international trade as out of reach," he said, adding that it is not only about figures and exports, but about dignity, confidence, and building a stronger self-reliant India. The CAIT also added that the agreement will help boost employment, increase bilateral investments and support innovation and entrepreneurship in both countries. The India–UK FTA is being seen as a landmark in India's foreign trade policy and part of a broader effort to build a values-based and mutually beneficial economic partnership.

India and UK sign free trade agreement, PM Modi says farmers, MSMEs will benefit
India and the United Kingdom on Thursday signed a Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement. The free trade agreement was signed by Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and his British counterpart Jonanthan Reynolds during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the United Kingdom. 'Today marks a historic day in our bilateral relations,' Modi said in a press statement beside UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer after the signing. He said that the agreement aimed to benefit Indian farmers, the micro, small and medium enterprises sector, footwear and jewellery exports, as well as the seafood and engineering goods sectors. Modi also said that British medical devices and aerospace parts would be more easily sold in India. Starmer, on his part, said that the trade deal would help British workers in cutting-edge manufacturing, and would also benefit whiskey distillers across Scotland and the service sector in London, Manchester and Leeds. The UK prime minister said that the agreement was 'the biggest and most economically significant' trade deal the United Kingdom has made since Brexit – when Britain exited the European Union in 2016. The UK government said that the trade deal was set to increase bilateral trade between the two countries by nearly 39% in the long run, The Indian Express reported. This would be equivalent to $34 billion a year compared with the projected 2040 levels of trade in the absence of an agreement, currently at $21 billion annually. In his statement, Modi also thanked Starmer for his support after the Pahalgam terror attack. 'We are united in the belief that there is no place for double standards in the fight against terrorism,' the Indian prime minister said. The terror attack at Baisaran near Pahalgam town in Jammu and Kashmir on April 22 left 26 persons dead and 16 injured. The terrorists targeted tourists after asking their names to ascertain their religion, the police said. All but three of those killed were Hindu. 'We also agree that the forces which espouse extremist ideologies should not be allowed to misuse democratic freedoms,' Modi added. 'Those who misuse democratic freedoms to undermine democracy itself must be held to account.' The Indian prime minister also said that 'today's era demands development, not expansionism'. New Delhi and Britain had announced the free trade agreement in May after more than three years and 14 rounds of negotiations. With the agreement, India opens its doors to high-end British cars and whisky in a phased manner. The agreement ensures comprehensive market access for goods across all sectors, covering all of India's export interests, The Indian Express reported. India's Commerce and Industry Ministry had earlier said that the country would benefit from tariff elimination on approximately 99% of tariff lines, covering nearly 100% of trade value.
