Soaring gold rates dampen sale on Akshay Tritya

Surat, May 10 (ANI): The sale of gold could not shine as much as it did last year on Akshay Tritya. The soaring price of gold was the reason behind the negative marginal growth this year. Instead of investing in gold, people chose to buy cars. Gold prices have shot up to Rs 30,000 per 10 gram, 10% more than Rs 27,000 per 10 gram in the first week of February.
