Aspect Bullion & Refinery to launch 50 gold and silver vending machines nationwide on Akshaya Tritiya
Aspect Bullion and Refinery, a division of Aspect Global Ventures, has announced plans to roll out 50 gold and silver vending machines in the next 12-18 months. These state-of-the-art bullion vending machines have been indigenously developed by Aspect Bullion, assuring complete control over the planogram, software backend, and customer interface, reinforcing Aspect Bullion’s commitment to innovation, transparency and consumer trust. Strategically designated to be placed at high-footfall locations such as major malls, airports, temples, airports and more, the vending machines are designed to make purchasing precious metals faster, safer, and more accessible than ever before. Very soon, the brand will open another store in Mumbai and begin exploring franchise opportunities across India.
In the lead-up to Akshaya Tritiya — a festival synonymous with prosperity and gold purchases — Aspect Bullion has unveiled its first bullion vending machine at R City Mall, Ghatkopar, Mumbai. Shoppers can experience this innovative offering firsthand from April 26 to May 4, 2025.

Commenting on the initiative, Aksha Kamboj, Vice President, India Bullion & Jewellers Association (IBJA) and Executive Chairperson, Aspect Global Ventures said, “Gold and silver have always been an important part of India’s culture and traditions. With our vending machine, we are combining tradition with technology to make buying precious metals easier, safer, and more transparent. Our goal is to give people a simple, convenient, and trusted way to invest in gold and silver. We are proud to launch India’s first bullion vending machine, and we believe this will change how consumers buy precious metals, especially during important occasions like Akshaya Tritiya.”
Each vending machine will offer a curated range of gold and silver coins and bars, featuring exclusive designs and premium packaging. Equipped with real-time market pricing, customers can view live rate updates at the point of purchase.
Security has been a top priority: the machines feature biometric authentication, live CCTV surveillance, backend tracking, and robust anti-tampering technology. Purchases can be completed in under three minutes using a variety of payment options, including UPI, Google Pay, and debit/credit cards. A digital and printed receipt is provided instantly, making the process seamless — simply select, pay, collect, and go. This seamless process allows customers to take spot possession of gold and silver coins, making the purchasing experience truly worthwhile
Aspect Bullion’s vending machine rollout marks a significant shift toward a modern, tech-enabled future for bullion retail in India — while staying true to the tradition and trust that gold embodies.

Gold Holds Steady On MCX As Middle East Tensions Cloud Market Direction
Bullion Trades Range-Bound As Strait Of Hormuz Uncertainty Fuels Inflation Fears
Gold prices were largely unchanged at the open on India’s Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) on Tuesday, as investors weighed persistent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East against shifting expectations for global monetary policy.
The MCX gold May futures contract edged up 0.01% to Rs. 1,52,417 per 10 grams in early trade, while silver for May delivery declined 0.55% to Rs. 2,51,160 per kilogram. The muted start followed a cautious global tone, with bullion markets struggling to find direction amid conflicting macro signals.
Internationally, spot gold held above the $4,800-an-ounce mark in early trading but later slipped about 0.5%, even as crude oil prices fell nearly 1%. Spot silver also weakened, dropping roughly 1%. The divergence underscores a market caught between safe-haven demand and rising concerns over tighter financial conditions.
Investor sentiment remains tethered to developments around the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global energy supplies. Escalating tensions in the region have fueled fears of a prolonged disruption, amplifying inflationary pressures at a time when central banks are already navigating a delicate policy balance.
