As Dhanteras 2025 approaches, the All India Gem and Jewellery Domestic Council (GJC) shares key insights into consumer behaviour, market expectations, and emerging trends shaping this festive season’s gold and jewellery purchases. Despite elevated gold prices, demand will remain robust, driven by strong consumer sentiment and the enduring appeal of gold as both an investment and a cultural asset. Recent GST reforms, rolled out in September 2025, will also play a key role in increasing consumer confidence. The simplified tax structure and increased disposable income are helping sustain footfalls across organised retail, even as buyers negotiate on making charges and discounts. Jewellers across India are reporting consistent interest, especially among younger buyers who are gravitating toward sustainable & responsibly sourced jewellery. Popular choices this season include lightweight designs, investment-grade pieces, and hallmark-certified gold.
