Gold crosses Rs 1 lakh mark! But jewellers worry over sluggish sales - Here's why
Gold prices crossed the Rs 1 lakh per 10 grams mark on Wednesday, dampening sentiment among jewellers just ahead of the festive season. This is the first time in nearly two months that prices have breached this psychological barrier. The yellow metal has gained almost 2% this week, rising from Rs 98,791 on Monday to Rs 1,00,502 per 10 grams on Wednesday. Including the 3% GST, the effective consumer price now stands at Rs 1,03,507 per 10 grams. Jewellers fear the price surge may further dent demand during the upcoming high-consumption festive period starting with Raksha Bandhan. 'China is heavily buying gold. The Central Banks across the globe too are buying gold. Big investors are also purchasing gold. All these factors are driving the gold prices,' Surendra Mehta, national secretary of the India Bullion & Jewellers Association (IBJA), the apex industry body, told ET. The previous instance of gold reaching Rs 1 lakh per 10 gm occurred on April 22, following US-China trade tensions when the US implemented higher tariffs on China. Silver prices increased significantly, reaching Rs 1,15,500 per kg on Wednesday from Rs 1,11,000 per kg on Tuesday, representing a Rs 4,500 per kg increase in one day. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Filipinos should get this large benefit! Read More Undo Financial analysts attribute the rise in precious metals to a weakening dollar index and uncertainties surrounding US trade tariffs, which encourage safe-haven investments. The Indian currency experienced pressure after Nato's warning about secondary sanctions on Russian oil imports, contributing to increased local gold and silver prices. As India imports these precious metals, currency depreciation automatically affects prices. Suvankar Sen, managing director of jewellery chain Senco Gold, indicated that consumers are now choosing lightweight gold jewellery to accommodate their budgets. 'Volume-wise the drop will be 15%. If the price rise continues, then demand for 18 karat, 14 karat and 9 karat gold jewellery will increase,' he told the outlet. With the festive season starting next month from Raksha Bandhan and continuing through Diwali, gold demand is typically strong. However, this year, persistently high prices are dampening sentiment. According to ET, Dinesh Taluja, CFO of Reliance Retail, said the company's jewellery business has seen higher billing amounts due to rising gold prices, but the number of transactions has declined. 'The business is on steady growth, but obviously there is an impact on the significant increase in gold prices. In volume terms, the demand for gold has gone down,' he noted. The IBJA representative suggested that Raksha Bandhan jewellery sales will likely suffer as consumers resist the Rs 1 lakh price point. Faced with high prices, consumers are holding back on non-essential gold purchases and turning to more affordable alternatives like lightweight, lower-karat, silver, or studded jewellery. However, investment-driven buying continues, with customers showing interest in gold coins, bars, and plain chains, which carry lower making charges and are considered better value for long-term holding.

Boon For Mumbai, This ‘Engineering Marvel' Created History As World's 12th & India's Longest...
Last Updated: Atal Setu is a feat of modern engineering, equipped with cutting-edge safety systems, advanced road technology, and noise barriers to protect sensitive areas. The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), officially named Atal Setu, is the longest sea bridge in India and the 12th longest in the world. Inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, this bridge is a significant milestone in India's infrastructure development. The 21.8-kilometre bridge, stretching across both sea and land, is designed to revolutionise travel between Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. Atal Setu spans 21.8 km, with 16.5 km over the sea and the remaining 5.5 km over land. Constructed at a staggering cost of over Rs 17,840 crore, the bridge is a feat of modern engineering, equipped with cutting-edge safety systems, advanced road technology, and noise barriers to protect sensitive areas. Who Built Atal Setu? The bridge's construction involved some of the world's leading infrastructure giants. The Mumbai-side section, including the land-based work near Sewri, was developed by Larsen & Toubro (L&T) in collaboration with Japan's IHI Infrastructure Systems. The Navi Mumbai side, on the other hand, was completed by Daewoo Engineering and Tata Projects Limited. Why Is Atal Setu a Game-Changer? Enhanced Connectivity: Starting at Sewri in Mumbai and ending at Nhava Sheva in Navi Mumbai, the bridge connects with major highways, including the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and the Mumbai-Goa Highway. Interchanges at key points like Shivaji Nagar and Chirle ensure uninterrupted traffic flow across vital routes. Cost and Environmental Efficiency: The Maharashtra government has approved a toll of Rs 250 (one-way) for cars on the MTHL, the highest among Mumbai toll roads. However, it will still result in substantial savings. Wondering how? Travellers will save an estimated one crore litres of fuel annually, and over 25,000 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions will be reduced, according to a MoneyControl report. The bridge is expected to see a surge in property prices and values in Navi Mumbai areas such as Panvel, Ulwe, and Dronagiri. This is because the bridge brings these regions closer to key commercial hubs in Mumbai. The Atal Setu features Open Road Tolling (ORT), letting vehicles pass through toll booths at speeds of up to 100 kmph. This eliminates the need to stop at toll booths, which improves traffic flow.
