Is it wise to buy gold this Akshaya Tritiya? :AUGMONT KNOWLEDGE SERIES
Akshaya Tritiya, celebrated as an auspicious day to invest in gold, often sees a surge in gold purchases across India. But in 2025, with gold prices touching all-time highs, the big question for investors and buyers alike is: Is it wise to buy gold this Akshaya Tritiya?

Over the last 20 years, gold has delivered approx.15% CAGR, which is quite robust, especially in comparison with many fixed-income instruments and even some equity segments during market volatility. Gold has also acted as a hedge against inflation, currency depreciation, and geopolitical uncertainties.
Why Gold Has Performed Well
Several factors have supported gold prices in recent years:
- Geopolitical tensions: Russia-Ukraine war, Israel-Palestine unrest, and US-China trade concerns.
- Inflation worries: Gold is a traditional inflation hedge.
- Global economic uncertainty: Fears of a recession and a weak global economic outlook.
- Central bank buying: Many countries, including India and China, have increased gold reserves.
- Currency depreciation: The weakening of the Indian Rupee against the US Dollar added to local gold price inflation.
Why You Should Consider Buying
- Tradition with benefits: Buying gold on Akshaya Tritiya is culturally symbolic and has proven profitable historically.
- Diversification: Gold acts as a portfolio stabilizer, especially during market downturns.
- Returns remain promising: With global uncertainties continuing and rate cuts expected in the US, gold may remain supported in the near term.
- Demand for digital and investment-grade gold is rising: More buyers are shifting toward efficient, value-oriented gold investments.
Caution Due to High Prices
- Gold prices are near historical highs (₹96,000 per 10 grams), so bulk buying may not be advisable.
- A correction could occur if:
- US-China tensions ease.
- Interest rates rise unexpectedly.
- Investors shift their focus back to risk assets like equities.
Smart Buying Strategy for 2025
Buy with a measured and strategic approach:
- Avoid large lump sum purchases: Instead, opt for staggered buying or SIPs in gold digital gold or ETFs.
- Use Akshaya Tritiya as an entry point: Start small with Augmont Digital Gold or gold mutual funds.
- Buy coins or smaller jewellery pieces: Avoid heavy making charges; focus on purity and resale value.
- Think long term: If you’re buying gold as an asset, not just a purchase, stay invested for 3–5 years.
Final Word
Akshaya Tritiya 2025 presents an opportunity to align tradition with smart investing. While prices are high, gold’s long-term track record, safe-haven status, and cultural relevance make it a viable addition to your portfolio.

KISNA Diamond & Gold Jewellery Introduces Gold Rate Protection Plan Ahead of Akshaya Tritiya, Enabling Customers To Lock Prices In Advance
- Allows customers to freeze gold prices with a 25% advance during a defined period
- Akshaya Tritiya contributes nearly 15–18% to annual revenue, reinforcing its significance as a peak demand window
- Ensures customers pay the lower of the booking-day or invoicing-day gold rates
Designed to help festive and wedding buyers plan purchases amid price volatility
Mumbai, 04 April 2026: KISNA Diamond and Gold Jewellery, one of India’s foremost jewellery brands, today announced the launch of its Gold Rate Protection Plan, a strategic initiative aimed at helping customers navigate gold price volatility and plan their festive purchases with greater confidence ahead of Akshaya Tritiya.



Introduced in the run-up to the festive season, the plan allows customers to lock in prevailing gold rates by booking their jewellery in advance during a defined promotional window. The initiative reflects KISNA’s continued focus on offering customer-centric solutions that combine value, transparency and flexibility during key purchase occasions.
Under the Gold Rate Protection Plan, customers can freeze the gold rate by paying a 25% advance on their selected jewellery. The plan remains valid until April 19, coinciding with Akshaya Tritiya. Customers can select their jewellery in advance and complete the final purchase on the festive day, ensuring both convenience and price assurance.
The plan has been structured to safeguard customers against price fluctuations, ensuring that they are billed at the lower of the gold rate on the day of booking or the day of final invoicing. This mechanism enables customers to remain protected regardless of market movements, offering a clear advantage in a volatile pricing environment.
The offer is valid across gold and diamond-studded jewellery categories and is available at all KISNA exclusive brand showrooms. It is specifically designed for festive and wedding buyers planning purchases during the season, rather than for investment-led buying such as coins or bullion.
As this is the first time KISNA has introduced such a proposition, the brand expects the plan to contribute approximately 25% of its monthly business, with early consumer response indicating encouraging traction. Participation is expected to build further as awareness increases closer to the festive period.
Commenting on the launch, Mr. Ghanshyam Dholakia, Founder & Managing Director, Hari Krishna Exports and KISNA Diamond and Gold Jewellery, said:

“In a volatile gold price environment, the industry is seeing increasing unpredictability in purchase cycles, especially around key festive periods. For us, Akshaya Tritiya contributes nearly 15% to 18% of our annual revenue, making it a critical business window. Structured offerings like the Gold Rate Protection Plan help bring greater visibility to demand while encouraging advance bookings and strengthening conversions during this period.”
Commenting on the launch, Parag Shah, CEO, KISNA Diamond & Gold Jewellery, said:
“With gold prices witnessing ongoing fluctuations, customers are becoming more cautious and value-conscious in their purchase decisions. The Gold Rate Protection Plan has been introduced to address this need by offering price assurance and flexibility. It allows customers to plan their purchases in advance without worrying about market volatility, while ensuring they benefit from the most favourable pricing.”

Akshaya Tritiya remains a key purchase occasion for jewellery, with consumer sentiment closely linked to gold price movements. As buyers become more value-conscious and shift towards lightweight and studded jewellery, the Gold Rate Protection Plan positions KISNA to drive stronger consideration and conversions during the festive period.
