Indian jewellers including Kalyan, Tanishq and Malabar are rolling out old-gold exchange campaigns aligned with PM Modi's call to curb gold imports, with Tanishq exchanging 10,000 kgs from 4.4 lakh customers in 8 months.

Why this matters

Builds on Kalyan's 'Nation First – Gold4India' launch pushing responsible buying, and follows the Rs 60,000 cr wipeout from MSCI exit and duty hike. Recycling pivots focus to domestic supply.

Retail-brand activity steady at 365 signals in last 90 days.
