 “We have seen good sales throughout the day and had to start our shop early at 9 am due to unexpected demand on account of Dhanteras. Gold prices have appreciated over 15% as compared to last Dhanteras but that has not changed the desire of buyers to buy gold,” Kumar Jain, a South Mumbai-based jeweller said.

 According to All India Gems and Jewellery Trade Federation (GJF) chief G V Sreedhar, sales have been better on the ocassion of Dhanteras this year due to a correction in gold prices in the last two months.
