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.

Kalyan Jewellers Celebrates ‘Bangaliana’ with Soulful Poila Boishakh Campaign
Celebrating Bengal’s Heritage, The Campaign Blends Nostalgia, Tradition, and Craftsmanship Through Storytelling and Timeless Jewellery
Kalyan Jewellers, one of India’s most trusted jewellery brands, has unveiled a new digital campaign to mark Poila Boishakh, the Bengali New Year. Featuring actress Ritabhari Chakraborty, the film is a heartfelt ode to Bengal’s cultural identity, bringing together nostalgia, craftsmanship and the enduring legacy of traditions passed down through generations.
At the heart of the film is a tender interaction between Ritabhari and a young boy, centred around the iconic ‘Talpatar Sepai,’ a traditional palm-leaf toy that reflects Bengal’s artistic roots. As the moment unfolds, the toy becomes a subtle symbol of the region’s craftsmanship and cultural memory, drawing a connection between childhood nostalgia and the finesse of handcrafted gold jewellery. The narrative then moves to a poignant moment where an elder presents a gold necklace, capturing the emotional value of jewellery in Bengali households, where each piece is not just worn, but cherished as a symbol of love, tradition and continuity. It reflects how jewellery often carries personal histories, passed down through generations as an enduring link between the past and the present.
Built around the theme “Oitijhyer Choway Notuner Boron” (welcoming the new with a touch of tradition), the campaign reinforces Kalyan Jewellers’ positioning at the intersection of cultural legacy and contemporary relevance. The brand also showcases a curated range of traditional designs inspired by Bengal’s intricate craftsmanship and grand aesthetic sensibilities.
Reinforcing its commitment to trust and transparency, Kalyan Jewellers continues to offer its signature 4-Level Assurance Certificate, ensuring purity certification, lifetime maintenance, transparent product details, and secure buy-back policies. This initiative provides customers with complete confidence during the auspicious gold-buying season.
With this campaign, Kalyan Jewellers invites consumers to celebrate the spirit of Poila Boishakh by embracing jewellery not just as adornment, but as a living expression of heritage and storytelling.
