The National Stock Exchange in Mumbai recorded an impressive jump in volumes traded of gold ETF or exchange traded fund units on Dhanteras, the first day of the three-day Diwali festival across India.
The Times of India reports trade jumped by 81% to 4,441 kg (each unit of ETF is equal to one gram of gold) compared to the same day last year.
The exchange holds a special trading session each year on Dhanteras.
