Gold impurity becoming more serious in India
By Jon Nones
11 Jan 2007 at 03:34 PM
According to a survey by the Bureau of Indian Standards, 90% of non-hallmarked gold jewellery collected from 16 cities across India, failed the purity test. At an all-India level, the purity was deficient by 3.00 carats.
The maximum shortage of purity in a few cities was detected at 9.83 carats. This implies that a piece of gold sold as 24 carats in purity may be only 14.17 carats pure.
According to the survey, none of the samples from New Delhi, Kanpur, Pune, Jaipur, Madurai and Chandigarh passed the test. No samples were collected from Mumbai.
At present, India has 39 hallmarking centres, including one owned by MMTC in New Delhi. MMTC has plans to open 10 new hallmarking centres across the country. (Click the links to read more RI coverage.)
