The gold trade has called for hallmarking and HUID numbers to be introduced for 9-carat gold amid record-high prices of both gold and silver, making them unaffordable for many. Silver reached ₹92,444 per kg and gold approached ₹75,000 per 10 gm in Mumbai's Zaveri Bazaar. Officials from the India Bullion & Jewellers Association (IBJA) met with BIS executives to discuss the matter. IBJA emphasized that allowing hallmarking for 9-carat gold could enable consumers to purchase heavier jewellery within their budgets.
