India’s gold demand improves as prices dip
Gold demand in India saw a slight improvement towards the week’s end as prices fell from record highs, yet remained below normal levels. Discounts in China persisted due to low activity, and India’s imports are predicted to drop significantly by 85 per cent in February. Meanwhile, gold trades in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan show varying premiums and discounts.
India’s gold demand improved in the second half of this week but remained lower than normal as prices retreated from all-time-high levels, while traders continued to offer discounts in China as activity remained lacklustre. Domestic gold prices were trading around 84,750 rupees per 10 grams on Friday after hitting a record high of 86,592 rupees last week.
Indian dealers this week offered a discount of $12-$27 an ounce over official domestic prices, inclusive of 6 per cent import and 3 per cent sales levies, down from the last week’s discount of $35.

Kumari Fine Jewellery Celebrates the “Modern Indian Original” with Exclusive Women’s Day Showcase
The Women’s Day showcase highlights self-bought milestones and positions lightweight gold jewellery as a symbol of independence, identity, and modern professional style.
Mumbai’s leading lightweight fine jewellery brand, Kumari Fine Jewellery, has unveiled its International Women’s Day 2026 showcase, celebrating every Kumari’s financial independence, personal style, and the power of self-expression. Reimagining the occasion as a tribute to the “Modern Indian Original,” the brand positions precious jewellery not as a passive asset, but as an active styling statement for women who invest in themselves.

This Women’s Day, Kumari brings an exhibition creating an exclusive experience for women who view gold as a reflection of identity rather than an occasion. Designed for working professionals, entrepreneurs, and corporate leaders, the showcase centres around the idea of the self-bought milestone, encouraging women to commemorate their achievements with jewellery that anchors confidence and presence.
The exhibition will feature a thoughtfully curated selection of signature pieces styled for work, travel, and celebration. From refined everyday gold essentials to statement accents that transition seamlessly from boardroom meetings to evening parties, each design reflects Kumari’s contemporary aesthetic and commitment to versatility. The brand’s design philosophy focuses on wearability, styling intelligence, and modern relevance, ensuring precious jewellery becomes an integral part of the active, social, and professional lives of contemporary women.

Speaking about the campaign, Supriya Kataria, Founder, Kumari Fine Jewellery, said, “Our vision has always been to design for the Modern Indian women who lead, create, and define their own journey. This showcase invites you to honour your personal milestones with jewellery that anchors your confidence, serving as a powerful reflection of both identity and achievement.”
Extending the initiative offline, Kumari Fine Jewellery will host a pop-up experience on 5 & 6th March 2026 at Parinee Crescenzo, Business Park, One BKC, Mumbai, inviting guests to experience a space where gold is not simply purchased, but personally claimed as a marker of growth, independence, and self-expression.
