Mehrasons Jewellers MD Ajay Mehra urged the Indian government to set up a dedicated Gold Board or Ministry of Gold to address ecosystem challenges across import, financing, refining, export and regulation, and promote gold-backed financial products to reduce import dependence.

Mehrasons' MD steps into a policy-advocacy role, framing the brand as a sector voice on gold regulation, financing and import dependence rather than a pure retail player.
