Browsing: India Gold Market

India’s gold market is showing early signs of seasonal strength in October 2026. The World Gold Council reports improving festive and wedding demand, strong listed jeweller revenue growth, higher gold ETF inflows and firm digital gold purchases despite elevated gold prices.

India’s gold market is adjusting to a record import duty increase after the government raised gold import duty from 6% to 15% in May 2026. According to the World Gold Council, the move has widened domestic discounts, influenced ETF flows, increased smuggling incentives, and is expected to moderate gold demand during 2026.
