Budget 2024 strikes gold for the gems and jewellery industry! We applaud the government’s decision to slash customs duties on gold, silver, and platinum to 6%, 6%, and 6.4% respectively. This was indeed long-awaited. This will help businesses of all scales grow as consumers will also reap the rewards, with increased savings and a renewed interest in gold investments. A significant win for the industry. A game changer for the industry at large.
