India's Gold Frenzy

Your Money

Available for over a year

As gold prices plummet, there is a buying frenzy in India, where traders are worried of running out of stocks. We visit a jewellers and a bullion dealer to see why gold is still such an important investment and a must-have for weddings. We meet a family who have access to a bank account for the very first time - thanks to India's unique ID scheme and we investigate why tens of thousands of savers have been left penniless after the collapse of a popular savings scheme. This week Your Money is live in Delhi. (Image: Indian prospective buyers shop for gifts - Credit: AFP/Getty)
