According to the latest report by the World Gold Council (WGC), India’s gold demand escalated by 8% during this period, reaching a substantial 136.6 tonnes. This uptick, despite gold prices soaring to historic highs, underscores the enduring importance of gold in India’s economic landscape.
A key driver behind this surge in demand was the robust economic environment prevailing in the country. Despite the challenges posed by escalating gold prices, India’s economy demonstrated resilience, providing a conducive backdrop for heightened gold consumption.
