Gold biscuits lie on a table before smelting at manufacturing unit of 'Tanishq', the Indian jewellery retailer from Titan Industries at Hosur, in Tamil Nadu, situated about 70 kms from the South Indian city of Bangalore, 7 May 2008. The ultra-modern, large-scale manufacturing unit in Hosur, Tamil Nadu was set up at a cost of 600 million Rupees (about 9 million Euros) in 1994. The unit has facilities like refining, alloying and stone casting and a dust-extraction system that kept gold losses down to 2 per cent of the raw material while local jewellers typically lost 8-10 per cent. Hindus celebrate 8th May as Akshaya Tritiya day, south India's biggest gold buying festival, and jewellers are expecting a 35-40 per cent growth in sales over last year's all India sales of close to 780 tonnes. Industry experts attribute it to increasing popularity of the festival among the people and rising disposable incomes. EPA/MANJUNATH KIRAN +++(c) dpa - Report+++
