Key Insights

  • Volatility in Demand: Gold imports fluctuated sharply, likely in response to price changes and festival-season expectations.

  • Mid-Year Dip: January–March showed strong volumes, but June brought a steep decline due to record-high domestic prices. July marked signs of recovery ahead of festive demand.

  • Price Sensitivity: The decline in June, despite India’s cultural affinity for gold, underscores the influence of pricing on consumer behavior.
