The country registered an increase of 698 per cent to 193.5 tonnes.Although, the market is highly dominated by the unorganized players, with increase in consumer income and economic prosperity, the future of organized retail in India is very bright. The pricing factor of gold influences the purchasing behavior of jewels by the people. Hence, the study took up the pricing behavior of gold.
