    Thanks for the info Sudha.

    Once i read that India imports few tons of gold every month to meet its demand. This does not include recycled/exchanged gold.

    One of the major reason for such demand is the traditional way of considering gold purchase as an investment. Add to this the huge amounts of gold purchased for weddings.

    Gold stands strong as a status symbol in majority of our country.

    To keep up with status, the amount of gold given away in marriages is tremendous. There are families who may not be able to have two good meals, but during their daughter's wedding, they just pull all their resources and even take loans just to fulfil this demand.

    As for investment, yes, Gold is still the most sought after method. Be it in the form of jewellery or in just plain sealed coins/biscuits.

    Hence, the ever demand for gold no matter how much ever costky it becomes...
