Kundan Care Products Ltd., one of the India’s largest gold refineries, today announced its selection as a bullion gold bar provider for settlement of the future gold contracts traded on the NSE’s (National Stock Exchange) platform called “NSE Refiner Standards for Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS) - Standard Gold”. The firm has been selected by the newly crafted India Good Delivery Standards, which aims at making Indian gold standard equivalent to an international gold standard.
 
Mr. Vidit Garg, Director, Kundan Group, said. " It gives me immense pleasure to be associated with India's leading stock exchange platform and be a helping hand in boosting the country’s economy”. According to Mr. Garg, this initiative taken by NSE is an important milestone not only for the refiners but also for the entire network that operates in the Indian bullion and jewelry segment.
 
It is for the very first time that the Indian gold refiners will be able to trade their gold over the NSE platforms. This initiative has come in line with the government's efforts towards a transition to “Atma Nirbahr Bharat”, thereby promoting the 'Make in India' campaign. Earlier, NSE used to accept only serial-numbered gold bars developed and authorized by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) for the settlement of gold contracts exchanged on the commodity derivatives section of the exchange. According to NSE, the launch of NRS for BIS – Standard Gold – would encourage greater involvement by domestic market players in the trading of marketable bullion product as its futures the expanding reach of suitable bullion products for distribution on the platform.
 
This exchange of gold at NSE's platform will help deepen the market and facilitate the overall development of the physical settlement framework in the Indian commodity derivatives market.

The Kundan Group is one of the nation’s leading manufacturing and exporting companies and Kundan Refinery is one of its most successful units. The refinery is known for its best quality gold producers and traders in India and has carved a niche by being one of the finest providers of high standard gold in the Indian market.
