India's gold demand is projected to fall to a six-year low of around 650 metric tons in 2026, as rising prices and a weak rural economy reduce jewellery sales and investment demand. The World Gold Council reported a 29% year-on-year drop in gold demand in the September quarter, with jewellery purchases down 20% and investment demand down 40%. Demand may improve in the December quarter due to festivals like Diwali and the wedding season.
