Titan adjusts jewelry designs in Bengaluru amid record gold prices
What happened
Titan is adjusting its jewelry designs in Bengaluru in response to rising gold prices. Reports indicate that while total spending on gold in India reached a record Rs 1.98 lakh crore between April and June, jewelry demand fell 15 per cent by volume during that quarter. The average domestic price for gold during that period was Rs 1.51 lakh per 10 grams, significantly higher than the previous year's average.

Why it matters
The high cost of gold is changing consumer purchasing habits across the jewelry sector. Shoppers are increasingly opting for lighter pieces and varied carats, and trading in old ornaments for new ones has become common. This shift forces retailers to adapt their product offerings to align with consumer budgets.
Motilal Oswal continues to publish market reports on the Indian market, while Titan and Kalyan Jewellers are noted as leading jewelry retailers in India.
