Gold price fall lifts Dhanteras sales, jewellers eye 15-20% growth

A sharp correction in gold and silver prices drove strong Dhanteras buying on Friday, with jewellers expecting gold sales by value to rise 15-20 per cent to around Rs 60,000 crore. Gold in the national capital fell to Rs 1,46,300 per 10 grams from a January record of Rs 1,83,000, though it remains above last year's Dhanteras level.
