Indians buy 52 tonnes of gold amid falling prices

Indian consumers purchased 52 tonnes of gold as prices dropped significantly from a peak of Rs 1.8 lakh to Rs 1.42 lakh. The surge in buying was supported by festive occasions like Dhanteras and Diwali coinciding with monthly salary payouts and festive bonuses. This recovery follows a nearly 50 percent decline in gold sales volumes during the earlier months of the current fiscal year.
