D.P. Jewellers Unveils Multi-City Showcase Spanning Bridal Grandeur to Everyday Jewellery
D.P. Jewellers curates city-specific exhibitions across Kota, Ajmer, Ujjain, and Banswara, blending bridal grandeur with lightweight, everyday jewellery to match evolving consumer preferences.
D.P. Jewellers, a venture of D.P. Abhushan Ltd. and one of Central India’s largest jewellery retailers, has launched a series of curated in-store exhibitions across key markets, including Kota, Ajmer, Ujjain, and Banswara, running from March 19th to March 29, 2026.

Each exhibition has been designed around specific consumer needs and regional buying preferences, bringing together a mix of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design.
In Kota and Banswara, the brand is hosting its Wedding Carnival 2026, showcasing an extensive bridal-focused collection. While D.P. Jewellers has previously organised wedding-led showcases, this edition is more expansive in both scale and curation, featuring a wider mix of gold, diamond, diamond polki, and silver jewellery, along with traditional articles and wedding essentials. The focus is on offering greater design diversity and convenience, enabling bridal families to explore complete wedding solutions under one roof. Key highlights include necklaces, bangles, bridal sets, and occasion-led designs catering to both traditional preferences and evolving styling sensibilities.
In Ajmer, D.P. Jewellers is presenting the Rings, Tops & Small Jewellery Festival, marking a sharper shift towards lightweight and everyday jewellery, a category seeing increased traction. Unlike earlier formats that were largely occasion-driven, this exhibition emphasises daily wear and versatility. The showcase features gold and diamond rings, earrings, and small-format designs, including collections from its ‘Amoura’ line, known for its modern, lightweight appeal. Personalised styling guidance further reflects a more consultative retail approach.
Meanwhile, in Ujjain, the Chain & Bangle Festival builds on traditionally strong categories while introducing a more experience-led format. While chains and bangles have long been core to festive buying, this edition expands the offering with a broader mix of lightweight and contemporary designs, catering to younger consumers. The inclusion of live customisation and in-store styling support marks a shift towards a more interactive retail experience, aligned with changing consumer expectations.
Across all locations, the exhibitions reflect evolving consumer trends, with a visible shift towards lightweight, versatile jewellery alongside continued demand for traditional gold pieces, especially for weddings and cultural occasions. Markets like Ajmer and Ujjain also benefit from steady footfall driven by religious tourism and regional connectivity, contributing to sustained demand throughout the year.

D.P. Jewellers continues to emphasise transparency and trust as key differentiators. Each product is clearly tagged with detailed information, including making charges, gross and net weight, and pricing aligned to prevailing market rates. The brand also offers a customer-friendly buy-back policy and maintains competitive pricing across categories.
With a legacy of over eight decades and a growing retail footprint, D.P. Jewellers’ multi-city exhibition strategy aims to deepen customer engagement while catering to diverse regional preferences during one of the most important consumption periods for the jewellery industry.

Augmont-NSE Partnership Drives Strong Start for India’s Gold EGR Market, with Over 1,60,357 Units Traded in First Few Hours
Electronic Gold Receipts segment witnesses active two-way trading on day one, with 1,60,375 units traded, representing approximately 6 kg of gold and a traded value of ₹23.34 crore as of 04:25 PM
India’s gold market took an important step towards greater integration with the commencement of live trading in the Electronic Gold Receipts (EGR) segment on the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) today. Enabled through the collaboration between NSE and Augmont Enterprises Limited, the launch brings together NSE’s regulated exchange infrastructure and Augmont’s integrated physical gold ecosystem, creating a new avenue for investors to trade physically backed gold.
On its opening day, the EGR segment witnessed active two-way trading, with 1,60,357 units traded by approximately 04:25 PM, representing around 6 kg of gold. The trading activity translated into a cumulative traded value of approximately Rs.23.34 crore during the first session. The segment also demonstrated orderly price discovery, with prices remaining within a narrow intraday range of Rs.1,450.50 to Rs.1,460.00. The bid-ask spread remained between Rs.0.50 and Rs.1.00, indicating continuous two-way quotations and an active order book.
Each EGR represents 100 mg of physical gold, with the underlying gold held in SEBI-regulated vaults. Investors can buy and sell EGRs through their demat accounts on the exchange, while retaining the option of converting their holdings into physical gold, subject to the applicable framework. The segment follows a T+1 settlement cycle, under which trades executed on a particular day are settled on the next business day, facilitating the transfer of securities and funds through the exchange’s regulated clearing and settlement mechanism.
Under the strategic collaboration, Augmont serves as a key physical gold and infrastructure partner for NSE’s EGR segment, supporting the creation, vaulting, redemption and liquidity ecosystem. The gold backing the EGRs is sourced through Augmont’s integrated refining infrastructure, bringing together physical gold processing and exchange-based trading within a regulated framework.
The commencement of live trading marks an important step towards building a more transparent and accessible gold market in India. By enabling standardised gold to be traded through an exchange-based mechanism, EGRs have the potential to strengthen price discovery, improve market participation and create a more integrated ecosystem for physical gold.
Ketan Kothari, Whole-time Director, Augmont Enterprises Limited, said:

“The commencement of EGR trading marks the transition of our collaboration with NSE from building the underlying infrastructure to enabling a live, exchange-traded gold market. The day-one trading activity, continuous two-way quotations and orderly price discovery are important initial milestones for a new market segment.
At Augmont, we have brought together our refining capabilities and physical gold infrastructure to support the creation, vaulting and redemption of EGRs. We believe this initiative can play an important role in making physical gold more accessible, transparent and integrated with India’s formal financial ecosystem. Our focus remains on strengthening the ecosystem and supporting its wider adoption among investors, brokers and other market participants.“
