Bullion dealers and jewellers say shipments will be less than the average $36-million imports witnessed in the last fortnight of May. Talking to ET, Haresh Soni, chairman of All India Gem and Jewellery Trade Federation, said, "Demand has already tapered off beginning June and this trend is likely to continue till the middle of August.

The finance minister on Thursday reiterated his appeal that people control their craving for gold. He was addressing a press conference to detail the steps being taken by the government to bring the economy back on track.

Joy Alukkas, the man behind the eponymous gold jewellery behemoth Joyalukkas, talks about rapid expansion, global branding and how the yellow metal will never lose its Midas touch
So, the good news, for the foreseeable future at any rate, is that the gold rush will be unstinting. Coming straight from Joy Alukkas,Buy popular mkhandbag and get free shipping. that’s a heartening certification — in case you ever harboured doubts about the yellow metal losing its winning streak.
You’d be forgiven for missing the unassuming chairman and managing director of the Joyalukkas group in a mass of humanity thronging the area outside a popular restaurant in Bur Dubai where we meet for lunch and conversation. He apologises for the “delay”, saying it took time to find a parking slot — putting paid to imagined notions of a man who helms a business empire (looking at a $2 billion turnover this year) tossing his chariot’s keys at a strategically-standing valet.
As we sit down for an Indianised Chinese meal, I have to urge him to speak up so he can be heard over the hum of chitchat overflowing in the dining space. He obliges with a self-effacing smile. As we wonder if we should order the Ginger Fish, he tells me how, circa 2000, the gold price was Dh25-27 per gram, while “in the fish market, good quality fish was about Dh35 per kilo… so yes, you could go through a mental tussle about which one to settle for!”
He asks me which part of India I am from. When I say Kolkata, he tells me his group is in the process of setting up the first Joyalukkas store in the city. I ask him, playing it by the textbook, if they conduct market research before venturing into a new market. “No way,” he laughs. “I just go by stories of the many-splendored love for gold.”
Joy Alukkas grew up in Trichur, Kerala, one among five brothers and 10 sisters. His father, Varghese Alukkas (“a shrewd businessman with an amazing vision”) started the jewellery business in 1956 out of a 200 sq feet shop in Trichur, called, like a prequel to Joyalukkas’ eponymous-ness, Alukkas. As the five brothers grew up, they all joined the business and, together, they struck gold. “In 1986, I visited the UAE to check out its potential. At that time, because of the Gold Control Act in India,stocks a huge selection of aluminumfoiltape. there was a huge difference in the price of gold there and here [the Gulf]… almost a 100 per cent difference. There were only one or two Malayali jewellery stores in Dubai; most others were owned by Gujaratis.”
He reckoned if he started something here, expat Malayalis — “crazy about gold” by his own admission — would be a big catchment. In 1987, he set up an Alukkas store in Abu Dhabi — the first ‘overseas’ one for the family business, which then had stores in Trichur, Cochin and Calicut.
Expectedly, business flourished. But in 1990, the Gulf War started, and Joy Alukkas had to close the Abu Dhabi store and return home. Only to come back next year, in 1991, when the war ended. This time, he opened a showroom in Dubai. “Around 1992-93, I started our promotions with coupon schemes… these turned out to be hugely popular… soon, other jewellery stores started copying me.” But he was set and would, over the next few years, open a few more stores in the UAE.
