Gold demand can remain 850 tonnes
Somasanduram PR, India head of the World Gold Council, says that if the monsoon is good in the country, then the demand for gold can reach 800 to 850 tonnes. On the other hand, even if the monsoon is not good, the demand for gold in the country is estimated to be 700 to 750 tonnes.
The India head of the World Gold Council believes that due to the elections, cash flow will increase in rural areas. This may increase the purchase of gold, as gold is considered a good investment option among rural people.
60 percent of gold is consumed in villages
The rural economy accounts for 60 percent of the total gold consumption in India. At the same time, apart from the Lok Sabha elections, elections are also to be held in about 6 states including Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Rajasthan. That’s why this demand can increase further in the village, especially after getting a good price for the crop after a good monsoon.
However, there is also a possibility of an El Nino effect this year regarding the monsoon. In such a situation, the monsoon rains may be slightly less. Although Indian farmers are prepared to deal with the effects of El Nino, it may not have much effect on the yield.
In the year 2021, the country consumed 797 tonnes of gold, while in 2022 this figure was 774 tonnes.
