Sep in India's gold demand. 4% growth in the quarter
India's gold demand has rebounded. Demand for gold has returned to pre-Corolla levels. According to a report by the World Gold Council (WGC), gold demand grew by 3% to 12.1 tonnes in July-September 2021 on the back of economic recovery and rising consumer demand.
The country's gold demand stood at 6.5 tonnes in the same quarter last year, in September 2020. In the third quarter, India's gold demand grew by 7% to Rs 2.50 crore. It was Rs 2,150 crore in the same period last year. With this, gold imports are unlikely to grow much in the fourth quarter in the near future, as stocks have been stockpiled during the third quarter of 2021 for the festive season. Going forward, with the country easing controls, retail demand will begin to return to pre-Kovid levels. With this, the demand for gold is expected to increase due to the festive and wedding season, Somsundaram said.
