Akshaya Tritiya 2026 precious metals surge to record value. Gold and silver trade expected to exceed Rs 20,000 crore this year, up from Rs 16,000 crore in 2025, driven by unprecedented price increases. Gold has climbed to Rs 1.58 lakh per 10 grams from Rs 1 lakh last year, while silver jumped to Rs 2.55 lakh per kg from Rs 85,000. Despite soaring prices reducing purchase volumes, consumer demand remains resilient as buyers shift toward lightweight jewelry, silver products, and small-denomination coins. Industry leaders note this represents a fundamental change in purchasing behavior, with consumers adopting more calculated, value-driven strategies. Average jeweller sales are projected at just 25 to 50 grams for gold and 400 to 800 grams for silver per festival, reflecting sharp volume declines.
