Jewellery Demand Rises in Patna Ahead of Dhanteras Amid Gold Price Volatility
What happened
Jewellery showrooms across Patna are reporting a steady rise in advance bookings as customers look to mitigate volatile gold prices ahead of Dhanteras. Store managers noted that gold jewellery is leading demand, while a dip in gold prices has encouraged customers to start shopping earlier than usual, particularly for wedding collections. Retailers are offering rate protection, discounts on making charges and diamond value, and old-gold exchange schemes to attract buyers.
