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.

Retailers are also seeing increased interest in gold coins and versatile daily-wear jewellery, as buyers seek both aesthetic appeal and financial security. A notable trend is also seen of early buying by families with weddings planned for 2026, aiming to lock in current prices before anticipated hikes. This strategic buying behaviour is expected to contribute to a projected 12–15% growth in gold sales this year.

GJC’s Lucky Lakshmi Jewellery Sales Festival 2025, running from Sept 22 to Nov 9, is a nationwide initiative by the All India Gem and Jewellery Domestic Council to boost jewellery sales. With the theme “Celebrate You,” it features promotions, lucky draws, and digital campaigns to drive self-purchase and support retailers of all sizes.

“We’re seeing a wave of smart, purposeful buying this Dhanteras,” said Rajesh Rokde, Chairman of GJC. “Consumers are not only embracing traditional purchases but also evolving toward eco-conscious and investment-driven choices. The festive season, coupled with a surge in upcoming weddings, is fueling demand. Our Lucky Lakshmi initiative continues to be a game-changer, especially among Gen Z buyers, thanks to digital campaigns and influencer-led outreach. With prices recently climbing to Rs.129,430 per 10 grams, we anticipate continued momentum through Diwali, possibly breaching Rs.130,000. This reinforces gold’s role as a safe haven for Indian households.”

“Gold buying during Dhanteras is deeply rooted in tradition, but today’s consumers are more informed and selective,” added Avinash Gupta, Vice Chairman of GJC.. “We’re seeing a clear shift toward informed and value-driven purchases—buyers are prioritising hallmark certification, sustainable sourcing, and designs that offer both aesthetic appeal and long-term value. Lightweight jewellery and gold coins are especially popular this season, as consumers look for versatile options that fit both festive and investment needs.

Our Lucky Lakshmi initiative continues to add momentum, offering attractive incentives that encourage early buying and reward loyal customers. Whether it’s for gifting, weddings, or wealth preservation, gold remains the centrepiece of festive prosperity.”

GJC urges consumers to buy only from trusted jewellers and to look for hallmark certification to ensure purity and authenticity. With evolving preferences, strategic buying, and festive optimism, Dhanteras 2025 is shaping up to be a season of meaningful purchases and enduring value.

Bhima Gold Unveils Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection for Akshaya Tritiya, Blending Devotion with Exquisite Design

A culturally rooted, insight-led launch that reimagines festive gold buying through storytelling, symbolism, and spiritual relevance.

In a move that blends cultural storytelling with product innovation, Bhima Gold has unveiled its Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection for Akshaya Tritiya – positioning gold not just as a purchase, but as a deeply symbolic expression of prosperity, faith, and intent.

Timed with one of India’s most significant gold-buying occasions, Akshaya Tritiya, the launch reflects a deeper cultural shift in consumer behaviour. While the festival continues to drive strong purchase intent, there is a growing preference for meaningful, purpose-led buying experiences over purely transactional consumption.

Aligned with this evolving mindset, the Ashtalakshmi coin collection has been thoughtfully conceptualised to blend tradition with deeper symbolism. Inspired by the eight sacred forms of Goddess Lakshmi, each coin represents a distinct dimension of prosperity—from wealth and nourishment to courage, knowledge, and continuity.

By bringing together Adi Lakshmi, Dhana Lakshmi, Dhanya Lakshmi, Gaja Lakshmi, Santana Lakshmi, Veera Lakshmi, Vijaya Lakshmi and Vidya Lakshmi, the collection reframes gold coins from being a generic festive purchase to a story-driven, culturally immersive product experience – one that resonates across generations and belief systems.

This launch also aligns with Bhima Gold’s larger centenary narrative of “Together Purever,” which focuses on legacy, shared traditions, and evolving consumer meaning. The collection becomes an extension of that philosophy – reinforcing how heritage brands are reinterpreting tradition for a more aware and emotionally driven consumer.

Customers can pre-book their favourite jewellery by paying just 10% in advance & get their jewellery on Akshaya Tritiya at the lowest rate, which gives customers more flexibility and helps them plan their purchases with greater confidence, especially at a time when gold prices are high.

Akshaya Tritiya has traditionally been associated with intention, belief, and the aspiration for prosperity, extending beyond a purely transactional act of buying gold. The Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection has been conceptualised to reflect this deeper cultural and spiritual significance, with each coin designed to carry a distinct meaning and sense of purpose. The initiative also aligns with evolving consumer preferences, where there is a noticeable shift towards jewellery that offers emotional, cultural, and spiritual resonance in addition to intrinsic value.

With gold prices near record highs and consumer sentiment becoming more considered, Bhima’s Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection signals a broader shift in the category — from price-led promotions to meaning-led engagement, where design, storytelling, and cultural relevance drive both differentiation and demand.

As legacy brands navigate a new era of conscious consumption, Bhima Gold’s latest offering highlights how tradition can be reimagined as experience, making gold buying not just an act of investment, but an expression of identity and belief.
