PNG Jewellers Akshaya Tritiya 2025 Gold sales touch Rs 139.53 crore !
Gold Prices Near ₹1 Lakh Mark Fail to Deter Shoppers as India Sees Rs 12,000 Crore Worth of Gold Sales on Auspicious Day
Gold prices may have touched historic highs this Akshaya Tritiya, but that didn’t stop Indian consumers from making substantial purchases of the precious metal. Maharashtra-based P N Gadgil Jewellers recorded its highest-ever single-day festive sales, achieving a milestone turnover of Rs 139.53 crore on Akshaya Tritiya 2025 — marking a 35% growth over last year’s Rs 103.26 crore.
In terms of volume, the jeweller sold 122 kg of gold, up from 120.24 kg in 2024. Despite gold prices hovering between Rs 99,500 and Rs 99,900 per 10 grams, nearly 38% higher than last year’s Rs 72,300, consumers showed unwavering enthusiasm for festive gold buying.
P N Gadgil reported a 34% year-over-year growth in gold revenue, while diamond and silver segments saw 23% and 114% growth, respectively. Notably, even with a 31% increase in gold prices, the company witnessed a 1.46% rise in gold volume, and a significant surge in diamond and silver sales by 31% and 90%, respectively.
The bullish sentiment wasn’t limited to one retailer. Nationwide, gold and silver sales saw a massive upswing, with the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) estimating total trade on Akshaya Tritiya at Rs 16,000 crore, out of which Rs 12,000 crore was attributed to gold jewellery and related items.
This trend comes amid a spectacular five-year rally in gold prices — rising over 100% from Rs 47,677 per 10 grams in April 2020 to Rs 95,592 in April 2025. The yellow metal even crossed the Rs 1 lakh per 10 grams mark briefly on April 22, 2025 — a first in Indian history.

Gold Holds Steady On MCX As Middle East Tensions Cloud Market Direction
Bullion Trades Range-Bound As Strait Of Hormuz Uncertainty Fuels Inflation Fears
Gold prices were largely unchanged at the open on India’s Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) on Tuesday, as investors weighed persistent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East against shifting expectations for global monetary policy.
The MCX gold May futures contract edged up 0.01% to Rs. 1,52,417 per 10 grams in early trade, while silver for May delivery declined 0.55% to Rs. 2,51,160 per kilogram. The muted start followed a cautious global tone, with bullion markets struggling to find direction amid conflicting macro signals.
Internationally, spot gold held above the $4,800-an-ounce mark in early trading but later slipped about 0.5%, even as crude oil prices fell nearly 1%. Spot silver also weakened, dropping roughly 1%. The divergence underscores a market caught between safe-haven demand and rising concerns over tighter financial conditions.
Investor sentiment remains tethered to developments around the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global energy supplies. Escalating tensions in the region have fueled fears of a prolonged disruption, amplifying inflationary pressures at a time when central banks are already navigating a delicate policy balance.
