PICS:Jewellers gear up for Akshaya Tritiya

Akshaya Tritiya, which is considered an auspicious day to buy gold, falls on April 21. "However, the momentum has picked up due to public holidays. Looking at this growth momentum, we are expecting 20-25 percent growth during this Akshaya Tritiya compared with last year. We expect most of our sales in categories like chains, bangles and other smaller items," Sagar said. Echoing a similar view, P N Gadgil Jewellers' Chairman and Managing Director Saurabh Gadgil said Akshaya Tritiya looks exciting as prices continue to remain steady, hovering around Rs 27,000, mainly supported by global fundamentals.
