According to CAIT National President BC Bhartia, 39.3 tonnes of gold were imported into India in the first quarter of 2021 in the form of gold bars and coins, while 41.3 tonnes were imported in the first quarter of 2022.

The import of gold jewelry was 126.5 tonnes in the first quarter of 2021, but only 94.2 tonnes in the first quarter of 2022, indicating that individuals are increasingly investing in gold bars and coins.

GET A HEAD START ON SALES
According to Khandelwal and Arora, gold worth Rs 10,000 crore was sold across the country on Akshaya tritiya in 2019. However, in 2020, because of the Akshaya Tritiya lockdown in May.

The business during the Akshaya Tritiya festival during the lockdown for two consecutive years suffered a massive drop, shattering the backbone of the country's jewellery industry. However, the country's bullion trade has recovered from the corona epidemic this year, and customers in gold markets across the country are showing a lot of enthusiasm. People from all across the country flocked to the jewellery market today in big numbers to reserve jewellery that will be delivered in the following two to three days.
