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.

PNG Jewellers stock touches 52-week high of Rs 727.80 amid strong market momentum, strong festive demand
Driven by robust investor confidence, strong festive demand, and the continued rise of India’s organized jewellery retail sector, PNG Jewellers stock surge to 52-week high
Driven by robust investor confidence, strong festive demand, and the continued rise of India’s organized jewellery retail sector, P N Gadgil Jewellers Ltd (PNGJL) stock hit a new 52-week high of Rs. 727.80 on the NSE today (May 7, 2026). The stock was trading strongly, with an intraday high of Rs. 727.80, showcasing significant upward momentum. The price was Rs 711.35 at close of trading.
The rally reflects growing investor confidence in India’s organized jewellery retail industry, particularly branded chains demonstrating strong expansion, rising revenues, and resilient consumer demand despite elevated gold prices.
The breakout above the earlier resistance level is being viewed positively by both market participants and technical analysts, indicating sustained bullish momentum in the stock.
Industry experts believe several key factors are contributing to the sharp upward movement in PNG Jewellers’ shares:
- Expansion of retail showroom network
- Growing trust in organized jewellery brands
- Strong quarterly business updates
- Increased investor interest in consumer retail stocks
- Strong festive and wedding season demand
The branded jewellery segment continues to benefit from evolving consumer preferences, with buyers increasingly shifting toward transparency, certified products, and trusted legacy brands.
The rally in PNG Jewellers also underlines the broader strength of India’s organized jewellery market. Leading brands across the country are witnessing strong footfalls, higher ticket sizes, and consistent growth across bridal, festive, and daily wear categories.
With gold continuing to remain both an emotional asset and a preferred investment avenue for Indian consumers, jewellery retailers are maintaining strong business momentum even amid periods of elevated bullion prices.
Analysts now expect investors to closely monitor whether PNG Jewellers sustains above the crucial Rs. 700 breakout zone in the coming trading sessions. Continued earnings growth, retail expansion, and stronger visibility on future performance could further strengthen market confidence.
The stock’s fresh 52-week high marks another important moment for India’s jewellery retail industry, reinforcing the sector’s strong growth trajectory across both consumer demand and capital markets.
