Half gram gold in Madurai - Akshaya Tritiya/Trithya 2009 on April 27th

Gold is back in favour with consumers shifting their focus on the precious metal on the back of moderation in prices. And Akshaya Tritiya, falling on April 27, may provide a good opportunity for consumers in Madurai and India. But jewellers fear that retail purchasers may not go for the traditional 5-10 gm coins. To counter this, the World Gold Council (WGC), the gold sales promoting agency sponsored by miners, is planning to popularise half-gm gold coins.

“Reducing the coin size will serve two purposes. Consumers will continue to aspire for gold but at a lower investment, thus saving money to fulfill other needs. At the same time, they can also celebrate the occasion which is auspicious for buying gold,” a jeweller said.
