Firstly, the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya and the ongoing wedding season are traditional periods for gold purchases, driving significant demand.

Secondly, there's a growing interest among retail investors in modern avenues like digital gold and gold ETFs, making it easier to invest in the precious metal.

Finally, the anticipation of further price increases amid the prevailing global economic uncertainty is encouraging buyers to invest now, expecting higher returns in the future.

These combined factors are contributing to the sustained robust demand for gold in the Indian market, even at elevated price levels.
